GOP senators say they're unaware of fraud

Many Republican senators have held off on congratulating President-elect Joe Biden on his victory as President Trump pushes baseless allegations of voter fraud. CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes spoke with several GOP senators who said they were unaware of any specific fraud allegations, particularly in their own races. She joins CBSN with more on that, plus how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell might work with the new administration.

Control of the Senate hinges on runoff races

The battle for control of the Senate rests on a pair of high-stakes runoff elections in Georgia. Incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue will face Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff while the state's other incumbent Republican senator, Kelly Loeffler, is up against Democrat Raphael Warnock. Democrats will need to win both races in order for Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to become the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. Siobhan Hughes, a congressional reporter for the Wall Street Journal, joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" anchor Elaine Quijano with more.
