For many Republicans, President Trumps’ refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power is one step too far, though in their statements none have mentioned Trump by name. https://www.axios.com/republicans-trump-refusal-peaceful-transfer-of-power-cd8382ed-939f-49c6-a045-ea7e6678ee39.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah): "Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus. Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable."

Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.): "As we have done for over two centuries we will have a legitimate & fair election It may take longer than usual to know the outcome, but it will be a valid one And at noon on Jan 20,2021 we will peacefully swear in the President."

Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the House's No. 3 Republican: "The peaceful transfer of power is enshrined in our Constitution and fundamental to the survival of our Republic. America’s leaders swear an oath to the Constitution. We will uphold that oath."

Rep. Steve Stivers (Ohio), the former chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee: "Nothing defines our Constitutional Republic more than the peaceful transition of power. I’ve taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and I will uphold that oath."

Rep. John Katko (N.Y.): "[T]he importance of the transition of power to our democracy is larger than anyone President and any one election. I will not hesitate to fulfill my responsibility in upholding my oath to the Constitution and protecting our democracy."
