Speaking from the White House Thursday, the President
repeated his false claims that a count of legally cast ballots would show him winning the presidential race and said at one point, "This is a case where they're trying to steal an election. They're trying to rig an election."
Some prominent Republicans, including members of House and Senate leadership, are backing the President in the aftermath of the address.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of the President and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, defended Trump on Thursday evening and echoed his baseless claims of voter fraud. "I'm here tonight to stand with President Trump," the South Carolina Republican, who was reelected Tuesday, told Fox News' Sean Hannity.
