Rubio, Toomey Dispute Trump 'Rigged' Election Claims in Debates
by Alexandra Jaffe
Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Pat Toomey became the latest Republicans to speak out against Donald Trump's warnings of a rigged election Monday night.
In separate high-stakes debates, the two incumbent U.S. senators each refuted Trump's claim that the results of the 2016 election could be tainted, and both men called for confidence in next month's vote.
"Our elections may not always be completely perfect, but they are legitimate, they have integrity and everyone needs to respect the outcome," Toomey said during his debate with challenger Katie McGinty when asked about the Republican presidential nominee's allegations, which he's been repeating on the stump all week.
Toomey said that the success of the American "republic" depends on citizens' "confidence in the outcome of the elections" and said voters should respect
the outcome, "because that's going to be necessary to pull us all together on Nov. 9."
