New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim walked amid the mess shortly after voting to certify Joe Biden’s victory over Trump — and felt the weight of the day wearing on him — when something motivated him to clean up the debris.

"If you really care for the country, at the very least, exhaust these legal challenges as quickly as is absolutely possible, ideally by early next week," Petraeus said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "This is not just about this election, but every election in the future." I don't favor either party, but I do favor the country," said Petraeus, chairman of KKR Global Institute. "He used to tell the battalion and brigade commanders, 'If you really love your unit, if you really care for it, you will suppress your ego, you'll let your successor into the organization before you even leave, before the change of command,'" he said.

The 10 generals include some who made costly battlefield blunders; others mistreated captured Union soldiers, some were slaveholders and one was linked to the Ku Klux Klan after the war. Gen. Braxton Bragg, namesake for the famed North Carolina Army base, was also a slaveholder and an unpopular general who resigned his command after defeat in 1863 at Chattanooga. Virginia base namesake Gen. George Pickett, the big loser at Gettysburg, had 22 Union soldiers executed and later fled to Canada. Some scholars of the South, such as history professor Ted Ownby, say it's not clear how renaming the bases would play politically. ___Editors Note: Sewell, The APs Cincinnati correspondent, is a former Atlanta-based Southern Regional Writer.

Retired U.S. General David Petraeus, who commanded American forces during the war in Iraq, once called Soleimani "our most significant and evil adversary in the greater Middle East." While Soleimani was seen as a terrorist in the U.S., he was a towering and deeply respected figure in Iran. Iranian protesters hold a portrait of the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, during a demonstration in the capital Tehran, December 11, 2017, to denounce President Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
