One-third of GOP candidates have kissed the big orange rump.
At least a third of Republican candidates who have filed initial paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to run for Congress have questioned the results of the 2020 president election, according to a report from The Washington Post.
As The Post reports, almost 700 GOP politicians have filed paperwork with the FEC to run next year for the House or Senate, and at least a third of these candidates have expressed support for former President Trump's claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Of these candidates, 136 are sitting members of Congress who voted against certifying President Biden's Electoral College victory.
The Post also reported that around 500 of the 600 state lawmakers who have endorsed Trump's fraud claims are also currently running for reelection this year or next year.
