Mitt Romney is one of the few Republican lawmakers who have acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden’s election success, as he called Trump’s actions undemocratic. While left-leaning articles highlight that Romney said the president had exhausted his legal challenges in several battleground states, right-leaning articles highlight that Romney and Trump have not had a good relationship in the past.
A left-leaning article by The Boston Globe highlights that Romney said that the president had exhausted his legal challenges in several battleground states and had resorted to trying to defy the will of the voters. The article notes that Romney was not the only member of the Senate to suggest that Trump should stand down, as Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska said in a statement that it was telling that Trump’s campaign lawyers had refused to “actually allege grand fraud.”
Newsweek published a centrist article reporting that Romney said the president and his allies have “failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law.” In response, Trump tweeted a news article quoting a tweet of his from 2012 when he commented on reports of “voting machines switching Romney votes to Obama.”
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Romney and Trump have not had a good relationship in the past, as Romney did not vote for Trump in 2020 but did vote to convict him for abusing presidential powers earlier this year. Trump has called Romney a “LOSER” in the past.
