WASHINGTON — Pressure for President Donald Trump to start the transition process to President-elect Joe Biden built among Republicans in the U.S. Congress on Friday, as several voiced doubts over Trump’s claims of fraudulent voting. Alaska’s conservative Senator Dan Sullivan told reporters Trump has “a high bar” to prove his claims the election has been stolen by Democrats. Until now, Republicans in Congress have mostly said Trump should have latitude in pursuing legal claims of wrongdoing in the election. “In reality, Republicans all over are turning the page” on Trump’s presidency, he said. Still, the vast majority of Republicans in Congress have yet to acknowledge Biden’s win publicly.
