A retiring Republican congressman has called on colleagues to speak out about Donald Trump, saying he “doesn’t understand” the “hold” the president has on GOP leaders. In an interview with CNN’s Jim Sciutto, Florida congressman Francis Rooney was asked why more GOP lawmakers haven’t come forward to acknowledge Joe Biden’s presidential win. “There will be books written about this hold that President Trump has over a lot of the Republican leadership and base, and I don’t understand it,” Rep Rooney said on Monday.
