“Prominent Republicans in tough reelection battles spent Thursday blasting Donald Trump for refusing to promise that he would respect the results of the presidential election if he loses,” the Washington Post reports.
“But as of midday, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — whose own GOP majorities are at stake because of Trump’s unpopularity — had not commented on the latest statement from Trump about the election’s legitimacy.”
