“Millions face joblessness, foreclosure, or eviction. And 100 House Republicans are focused today on insisting the election was rigged.”
More than 100 House Republicans on Thursday signed an amicus in support of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit that aims to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in what one GOP lawyer called the latest sign that President Donald Trump has “corroded” the party he’s led for four years.
Powerful House members including Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.); ranking of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.); and Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), the incoming Republican Study chairman, are among those who signed the amicus brief.
