On Sunday, Pennsylvania's Senator Patrick Toomey became the fifth Republican official to congratulate Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on their victory in the 2020 US Presidential elections.
Toomey's acknowledgement of the pair as president-elect and vice president-elect in a statement came after Trump's latest legal set back in Pennsylvania, as he continues to claim foul play facilitated the Democrat ticket's election success.

"With today's decision by Judge Matthew Brann, a longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair and unbiased jurist, to dismiss the Trump campaign's lawsuit, President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania," Toomey said in a statement Saturday, though the Trump campaign is due to push its case on in higher courts.
He went on to mention other set backs for the Trump campaign in its push against the results in several states, before moving on to his message regarding the Democrats' victory in the race for the White House.
"I congratulate Biden and Harris on their victory. They are both dedicated public servants and I will be praying for them and for our country," he said, before acknowledging he would have "significant policy disagreements," with Biden.
He went on to express being "deeply disappointed" at Trump's defeat, commenting on points such as tax actions, work in the Middle East and COVID-19 vaccine program Operation Warp Speed as markers of achievement in his presidency.
