The GOP's election rebellion

It's a busy first week of the year in American politics. On Wednesday, dozens of Republican members of Congress are planning to rebel against GOP leadership and refuse to certify Joe Biden's Electoral College victory in the presidential race. At the same time, protesters are converging on Washington, D.C. And: President Trump is still trying to change the outcome of the presidential election. Plus, record early turnout ahead of Tuesday's runoff elections in Georgia. And, the future of the United Kingdom as Brexit takes effect. Guests: Axios' Alayna Treene, Felix Salmon and The Cook Political Report's Jessica Taylor. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Dan Bobkoff, Carol Wu, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Naomi Shavin and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
