Pennsylvania GOP reaps what Trump sows: The Note
ABC News
Next week brings more races, notably in Georgia and Texas, where pro-Trump candidates have endorsed lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 race.
The TAKE with Rick Klein
The advice from former President Donald Trump was as unsolicited as it was unwelcome to Republicans in Pennsylvania looking to bring the party together after a searing primary.
But in reality, many of those seeking office this year have been almost literally asking for it.
Trump's call for Mehmet Oz to "declare victory" to make it "much harder for them to cheat" cited no evidence and left unclear who "them" might be. Thousands of legally cast votes – including from members of the military serving overseas – have yet to be counted, and a recount is likely to be triggered under state law.
