106 Republicans rally behind President Trump

The brief is led by Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), who, in an email obtained by Forbes, told his colleagues Trump personally asked him to recruit supporters for the lawsuit, which aims to invalidate electors in four states Joe Biden won: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia. The lawsuit is picking up steam after 106 House Republicans signed on as amicus curiae, joining 18 states and President Donald Trump himself in backing the Texas-led case. The lawsuit, brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, seeks to declare Joe Biden’s hotly disputed victory in four key swing states – Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin – null and void, and asks their legislatures to vote in a manner “that is consistent with the Constitution.”
