The leading Republican on the House Intelligence Committee disagrees with Trump's false statement on his Truth Social platform that the "massive fraud" in the 2020 presidential election is a lie.

Turner said people are going to take into account a statement like this when evaluating a candidate.

Liz Cheney, a Trump critic and vice-chair of the House committee investigating the January 6 riots, said on Sunday that no honest person could deny that Trump is an enemy of the constitution.

Chris Christie, a one-time Trump supporter who has criticized the former president since his 2020 defeat, argued on ABC's This Week more Republicans should rebuke Trump.

"I certainly don't endorse that language or that sentiment" when asked about Trump's comments on CNN's State of the Union.

The New York Post story detailing the contents of a laptop owned by President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, was published just before the 2020 election, and internal Musk documents show the company's decision to limit the spread of a New York Post story. The documents, released through independent journalist Matt Taibbi, offered few new revelations, but showed an inside view of how the New York Post's account was suspended under the company's anti-hacking policy. On Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the files were a "really big story aboutTwitter and various forms of government fraud".

Many Republicans haven't responded to Trump's proposal to scrap the constitution. When George Stephanopoulos asked David Joyce if he would support the Republican nominee, he said he would.

Tangent

Democrats denounced Trump's proposal to eliminate parts of the Constitution that he claimed didn't work for him in the 2020 presidential election. The incoming House Democratic leader said in an interview that the statement was extraordinary but not unexpected. In an interview on The Sunday Show, Cicilline compared Trump to a crazy uncle. The White House called attacks on the constitution an "anathema to the soul of our nation" in a statement issued Saturday.

What To Watch For

Several members of the Republican party distanced themselves from Trump after a number of candidates he supported lost in the mid-term elections. His meeting with West and a white supremacist at Mar-A-Lago was denounced by conservatives. Most Republican leaders don't know if they will support Trump in his next presidential bid or if they will support another candidate.

Musk has a lot of hype, but no bombs.

The Trump-backed candidates have mixed showings in the mid-terms.

McConnell joined these other Republicans after Trump's meeting with white supremacists.
