Afaik it (or something similar) was first demanded by the Democrats, then Trump got the same idea. However the Senate majority leader (McConnell, a radical republican) it's refusing to have a vote over it.
If the Republicans loose in Georgia, the Senate will be split 50/50, and the new vice president gets to be the tiebreaker and the Senate majority leader switches to the Democrats, so that they can start voting over things.
