More US Congress Republicans openly doubt Trump’s election claims
Michigan Representative Fred Upton told reporters Friday, “I’ve not seen any evidence of fraud that would overturn 150,000 and some votes” that Biden leads Trump by in his home state. “No one has shown any evidence” of fraud in Michigan, Upton said.
Alaska’s conservative Senator Dan Sullivan told reporters Trump has “a high bar” to prove his claims the election has been stolen by Democrats. “And they’ve got to prove it in court,” Sullivan said.
Mitt Romney, the Utah Senator who has been a Trump critic, wrote on Twitter late Thursday that Trump had failed to make a “plausible case” of widespread election fraud, and was now trying to pressure state and local officials to overturn the election. “It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action,” he wrote.
Until now, Republicans in Congress have mostly said Trump should have latitude in pursuing legal claims of wrongdoing in the election.

Now, there is a cascading effect underway in the party, according to one Republican strategist who has advised campaigns for several years.
First “never Trumpers” called on Trump to begin turning over power to Biden almost immediately after the Nov. 3 election, the strategist said on Friday, followed by “marginal never Trumpers” a week later.
They are now being joined by Republicans who supported him reluctantly over the past four years, he said. “In reality, Republicans all over are turning the page” on Trump’s presidency, he said.
