“To have the leader of the free world talk as if we’re an autocracy… is something that alarmed me and alarmed a lot of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, as quiet as some may be I know they’re alarmed.”While the resolution serves as a symbolic gesture, some commentators took note of the fact that it lacks any statutory power to prevent a situation in which Trump refuses to accept the result.
