Republicans Back Trump’s Refusal To Concede, Supporters Say Truth Will Prevail

Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, slammed Democrats for expecting the president to quickly concede and said he had every right to pursue legal challenges.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the top Republican in Congress, threw his support behind President Trump in a sharply worded speech on the Senate floor. He declared that Trump was “100 percent within his rights” to turn to the legal system to challenge the outcome and hammered Democrats for expecting the president to concede.

President Donald Trump has yet to concede the race to his Democratic rival Joe Biden and is continuing to dispute the election results.

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who said she was speaking in her private capacity as an advisor to the Trump campaign, told reporters: She cited more than 130 affidavits filed in Michigan alone, as an example of the irregularities.

She also said there were reports of thousands of votes cast in Nevada from people who were not eligible.
