Bipartisan House pair circulates pledge to accept midterm election results
Two House members, one of them Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer, are asking colleagues to commit to accepting the November election results regardless of who wins.
A bipartisan pair of House members is asking their colleagues to accept the outcome of November's midterm elections, whichever party wins. The Hill reports the request is in a letter still circulating on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New York Democrat, is co-leading the effort, NPR reports. He spoke with NPR's Ailsa Chang about the pledge.
The Hill reports the effort comes as President Trump and some Republican allies claim, without evidence, that the elections are "rigged" in favor of Democrats.
