Republican rebuke: How 18 GOP senators dealt another blow to realDonaldTrump this week
After Trump pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the presidential election during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, several senators ignored the former president's claims that the 1887 Electoral Count Act protected the election from"fraud."
“The Electoral Count Act, that statute needed to be fixed and clarified,” Senate GOP Whip John Thune said in an interview with the Hill."A couple years ago, there were a lot of questions raised about it. There wasn’t any question in my mind about what it said, but since there are [questions], I think it’s important to nail that down.
Sen. Mitt Romney said he believes Trump's argument of keeping the law the same would theoretically allow Democrats to block a Republican from becoming president. With the new Electoral Count Act in place, it will state explicitly that the vice president solely has a ministerial role in presiding over the certification process.
