The divide within the Republican Party over the results of the 2020 presidential election deepened last week as a dozen GOP senators declared they will join their House colleagues in objecting to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden s win when Congress meets in a joint session Wednesday.
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah – the party s presidential nominee just eight years ago – sharply denounced the growing movement to challenge the election outcome on Saturday as an egregious ploy after a group led by Sen. Ted Cruz issued a joint statement saying they would not vote to certify the election until President Donald Trump s discredited claims of widespread voter fraud are investigated further.
