Late in 2020, however, Cotton disappointed his conservative base when he urged [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]] to concede the election to former Vice President [[Joe Biden]]. He refused to support the challenge to the electoral votes waged January 6 by conservatives objecting to rampant election fraud.
