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.

The California Democrat, who has led her party in the House since 2003 and is the only woman to be speaker, had been widely expected to retain her post. Rep. Kevin McCarthy R-Calif., again will be the chamber’s minority leader.
