Trump has been pressuring congressional Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 election through imploring them to keep on fighting. While left-leaning articles highlight that Trump has also enlisted Vice President Pence to reach out to party leaders and governors in key states to see what else can be done, right-leaning articles highlight that in a Thursday tweet, Trump suggested that president-elect Joe Biden would be an “illegitimate president.” 

A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Trump has also enlisted Vice President Pence to reach out to party leaders and governors in key states to see what else can be done to help the president overturn the election results. However, courts and judges across the country have flatly rejected Trump’s claims, citing lack of evidence for his allegations of voter fraud.

The Hill published a centrist article reporting that Republican Pennsylvania Senator Kim Ward suggested in an interview published Wednesday that she would be the victim of a violent attack if she indicated opposition to efforts by Trump’s supporters to reject the state’s election results. Ward is supporting efforts to call on Congress to reject Biden’s win in Pennsylvania.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that in a Thursday tweet, Trump suggested that Biden would be an “illegitimate president.” Next week, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the first congressional hearing to examine the “irregularities” in the 2020 presidential election.
