Assuming Jones is finally declared the winner (Moore has vowed to fight on, which could portend possible electoral shenanigans), some reports have suggested that McConnell may work to delay Jones’ seating in the Senate until after the tax bill vote. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s pressure from Congressional Republicans (and money from their owners) for Alabama officials to drag out certifying the results as long as possible.
