Some Republicans are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump’s attempts to claim election victory and cast doubt on the validity of ballot counting in key battleground states.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters that “claiming you’ve won the election is different from finishing the counting” after Trump claimed victory during his remarks early Wednesday morning when millions of votes had yet to be counted and many races had yet to be called.

After the Associated Press and other news outlets declared on Wednesday that Democratic nominee Joe Biden won Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, Trump’s campaign said in a statement, “The president is well within the threshold to request a recount and we will immediately do so.”

Republican and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker appeared to cast doubt on the chances of Trump overtaking Biden’s lead of approximately 20,500 votes. “20,000 is a high hurdle,” Walker said in a tweet Wednesday.

As the president continues to assert, without evidence, that Democrats are trying to steal the presidential election by engaging in voter fraud, other Republicans have tried to deflate his rhetoric.

“Taking days to count legally cast votes is NOT fraud,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a tweet Wednesday.
