More than half of Republican Senate nominees have rejected, cast doubt upon or tried to overturn the 2020 election results
By Daniel Dale
More than half of the Republican nominees for the 35 US Senate seats being contested in the 2022 midterms have challenged the legitimacy of the 2020 election -- rejecting, raising doubts about or taking steps to overturn President Joe Biden's victory.
A CNN analysis found that at least 19 of this year's Republican nominees have contested or refused to affirm the 2020 results. The list includes five incumbent senators and 11 other candidates who have at least a reasonable chance of winning in November.
The success of election deniers in Republican Senate primaries around the country -- from the southern border to the northern border; in swing states, conservative states and liberal states; among established officeholders and first-time candidates -- is yet more evidence of the broad support among party voters for former President Donald Trump's lie that the election was stolen.
The 19 Republican Senate nominees on this list of election deniers and doubters join at least 11 Republican nominees for state secretary of state and at least 22 Republican nominees for governor. US senators generally have less power over elections than secretaries of state and governors do, but they do have the power to object to certifying electoral votes, to write and vote on election legislation, and sometimes to hold hearings and issue subpoenas on election issues.
