Trump's baseless claims of Georgia voter fraud spark fears among Republicans

As Trump suffers another post-election court defeat, some Republicans worry he could depress turnout in crucial Georgia runoffs

Despite giving his strongest hints yet that he is coming to accept his loss of the White House to challenger Joe Biden, Donald Trump's continuing reluctance to leave office and baseless claims about electoral fraud are increasingly worrying his own party.

In particular, Republicans are concerned that the chaos caused by Trump's stance and his false comments on the conduct of the election in the key swing state of Georgia, which Biden won for the Democrats, could hinder his party's efforts to retain control of the Senate.
