Mitt Romney leads Republicans blasting their colleagues' 'egregious ploy' to overturn Biden's win that 'dangerously threatens our Democracy' after Mitch McConnell warned fight would rip the party apart

Mitt Romney has slammed 12 of his fellow Republican senators following news they plan to object to certifying Joe Biden's win when Electoral College results are tallied in Congress next week. In a statement released on Saturday night, Romney described the move as an 'egregious ploy that 'dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic.' The dozen rogue Republican senators who say they'll oppose the vote certification include Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri.  Both men have been touted as future leaders of the GOP, and may be eyeing a run for the White House in 2024.  In his statement, Romney said he believed the senators' 'ambition had eclipsed principle'.  He also claimed that the decision not to certify the Electoral College results 'has the predictable potential to lead to disruption, and worse.'   Romney is not the only Republican senator to oppose the rogue group.  Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski - who

Doctors treat a patient suffering from coronavirus at an Intensive Care ward at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey Mr Hopson said: 'You can imagine why people in the NHS are worried about how quickly this virus is spreading.'

A federal appeals court on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit by Louie Gohmert seeking to expand Mike Pence's authority, and allow him to overturn Joe Biden's election victory. Congress meets on January 6 to certify Biden's victory over Donald Trump, and allies of the president have attempted a series of tricks to prevent the certification.  Gohmert, a Republican congressman for Texas, was deemed by the three-judge panel on Saturday to lack the standing to sue.  The panel comprised of Republican appointees, including two judges tapped by former President Ronald Reagan and a Trump appointee. Louie Gohmert, Republican congressman from Texas, is attempting to get Mike Pence to void the election won by Joe Biden when Congress meets on January 6 Gohmert's suit argued that Pence had discretion to decide what votes should count They largely endorsed the lower court ruling, issued on Friday by Texas-based U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, who said the GOP plaint
