A States United Action count finds nearly 200 Republicans who backed Trump's attempt to overturn 2020 on this November's ballot. Capital & Main profiled nine who have report cards on this site — six voted on Jan. 6 to throw out two states' results, and some won't say they'd certify the next one.
In the last month of Pennsylvania's governor's race, Stacy Garrity raised $5.3 million — nearly five times what she'd raised in the whole campaign before. $4.5 million of it came from three skill-game donors.

A week before he was elected, Rob Bresnahan said rising fuel prices make everything more expensive. In Congress, he has voted against all six resolutions to end Trump's Iran war, while Pennsylvania gas is up $1.35 a gallon.
The Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid by close to $1 trillion over 10 years, and the Congressional Budget Office says the law will leave 10 million more people uninsured. Republicans made sure the biggest cut doesn't start until 2027 — after the midterms. 198 Republicans on this site voted for it.
