Their threats come after former President Donald Trump's conviction on dozens of felonies in New York.
Eight Senate Republicans, led by Mike Lee , are vowing to oppose major legislation and Biden nominees led by the Democratic Senate, following guilty verdicts for former President Donald Trump in New York. The move could further bring legislative activity in the upper chamber to a slog.
'We are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart,' the senators wrote. Signatories of the letter include Lee and fellow Republicans J.D. Vance , Tommy Tuberville , Eric Schmitt , Marsha Blackburn , Rick Scott , Roger Marshall and Marco Rubio . Both Vance and Rubio are thought to be on Trump's running mate short-list. Many of these Republicans oppose most Biden-led priorities.
