Here’s where the day stands so far:
5.46pm GMT
Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger will hold a press conference at 3 pm ET, hours before Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Dalton for Republican Senate candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
Raffensperger will likely use the press conference to preemptively push back against Trump’s baseless claims of widespread fraud in Georgia’s vote count.
