Business Insider reports that five House Republicans support impeaching President Donald Trump over the Capitol siege. Most Republicans are pushing against it. They are arguing that it would further divide the country. "This will only bring up the hate and fire more than ever before," one House Republican said on Wednesday. But multiple polls show a majority of Americans support the House impeaching Trump and the Senate removing him from office.
Republican former President George W. Bush called out the rioters who stormed the US Capitol building on Wednesday. Thousands of Trump supporters violently forced their way onto the Capitol grounds and into the Capitol building. The insurrection forced a shutdown of the House and Senate chambers of the US Capitol on Wednesday. Former President Bush called the scene "sickening and heartbreaking" in a pointed statement. He went on to say "I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election".
Georgia's Republican top election official Brad Raffensperger says he believes President Trump's attacks on mail voting suppressed his own base. In fact, Raffensperger says Trump's baseless claims that mail voting is untrustworthy and fraudulent cost him the state. According to Business Insider, 24,000 Republicans who voted by mail in the state's June 9 primary elections did not vote at all in the general election. While Trump outperformed the polls in many states, he lost the key battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, in addition to Georgia. What's more, an even higher number of Georgia Democrats who voted in the primaries stayed home for the general. Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to lose Georgia since George H.W. Bush in 1992.
