U.S. President Donald Trump's wild and unsupported claims of voter fraud have emerged as a high-stakes Republican loyalty test that illustrates the tug of war likely to define the future of the GOP whether he wins or loses the presidency.

There is a pervasive sense among current and former GOP officials that the president's behaviour is irresponsible if not dangerous, but a divide has emerged between those influential Republicans willing to call him out publicly and those who aren't.

"If there are legitimate challenges, we have a process, that's the way it works," Hogan told The Associated Press. "But to just make accusations of the election being stolen and widespread fraud without providing any evidence, I thought was really bad for our democratic process and it was something I had never seen in my lifetime."Indeed, the most aggressive Republican criticism was limited to the small and familiar group of frequent Trump critics such as Utah Sen.

"You can't stop the count in one state and decide you want the count to continue in another state," Blunt told reporters. "That might be how you'd like to see the system work but that's not how the system works." South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters Friday that he was "not conceding" Biden's tightening grasp on the presidency and fully supported Trump's efforts to challenge ballot counts in several states.

"Be gentle about Trump's behaviour," he urged. "When I watched it last night and watched these heads explode I just rolled my eyes. ... We've always been a noisy democracy."

everyone is jumping ship and all the GOP will be like see we dont support him and they’ll get praised, meanwhile they supported him for 4 years doing horrible things to people

They’re just jumping ship like rats

CTV is fake news

Yeah yeah

OMG does this mean tRUMP can run in next election?

You guys sure are going all out for the Dems! It’s almost comical now...🤦‍♀️

The Media’s wild claims test our loyalty everyday! You are pathetic! 😡😡😡

Of all the things that the orange buffoon has spewed out of his pie hole, a good old-fashioned attack on democracy is what has finally riled the GOP 🤦‍♀️

No it tests the ethics of your republican politicians and it’s quite apparent to the world... they have none.

Poor CTV rag network !

One of the most disgusting and horrific things about this election is how media is so biased. Freedom of speech vs. fake news is being twisted. Four years of investigation, nothing found. Now the litigation/investigation hasn’t started and already concluded that he lied?

The Never Trumpers and RINOs of course are happy to bash Trump. Publishing a biased article from AP is not necessary. Try and find some Canadian story since Canadian taxpayers are propping up your failed business model.

Even his GOP members are turning on him, his first screw loose came out in 2016 now hes got many ready to fall.

Nothing as wild as your journalism.

There’s actual video evidence and tons of whistleblowers....

Well it's gonna head to the courts now and they will decide if they are just 'wild claims' or not and not the media or Dems. Why don't you just say that instead of endless articles of Orange man still bad?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Your daily dose of ctv comedy! You guys are such an unbelievable joke of a news outlet lol thx for keeping us entertained and uninformed!!👍👍

Did you report on the liberals reducing the age of voting in Canada to 16 yrs old?

Wild claims? They are as yet unproven but you cannot deny that an investigation is a good thing. If nothing else it will settle things in Biden’s favor once and for all.

In other news CTV has confirmed the Trump pee tapes are real.

LOYALTY TO A CULT LEADER IS NORMAL....!

And yet so few speak out, silence is complicity.

Wild claims? We know who pays you CTV

Republicans keep the senate, pick up seats in congress but somehow Biden wins the presidency?

The libtards have been fighting his presidency since the election in 2016. Why wouldn't he fight it?

Far from done.... He is now just two seats from flipping the house.

Serves them right. Should have turfed him when they had the opportunity. But those who sew the seeds of discord can expect to reap a bitter harvest.

But when the recount through the 'rule of law', you know the rule of law CTVNews, not the FakeNews that allows you the click throughs or click bait, the actual rule of law from the recount happens your narrative might change. veritas Dominion voting machines BellMediaScum

Wild claims? When a software “glitch” counts 6,000 votes for Trump as votes for Biden, you have to wonder what else is going on.

It won't be wild claims once the truth comes out what the Deep State has done...enjoy the show!!! fakephonyfalse

He is done, he needs to concede with some, if he has any left, dignity.

Wild claims? You do realize they have already uncovered fraud in amny states?! Wow ctvnews you guys need to catch up

Republicans can now start kicking his assault the door and rebuilding themselves to resemble some form of an honest broker.

'wild claims.'

Dominion voting software

those limits should have been tested years ago The GOP are complicit in all this sick toxic man does USA Republican

Limits? You mean there can be limits?

The claims are not wild. The claims are true, but CTV won't report on them because it makes the Democrats look bad. CTV is garbage.

this is so he can claim he did not lose the election - it was stolen from him ... who rigs an election with a narrow margin ?

Seems to be a 24/7 coverage do you hope to find something else when he is gone?maybe you will discover a world out there

Don't underestimate him.

In the event of his defeat, who HONESTLY thought he would be a gracious loser? Show of hands.

Well he's a idiot if he think he will win still
