Some Republicans continue to push for 'decertification' of 2020 election

While many mainstream Republicans look toward making waves in the midterm elections, some are still clinging to the past.

After GOP Rep. Mo Brooks' recently confessed that former President Donald Trump repeatedly urged Brooks to "rescind" the results of the 2020 presidential campaign, some Republicans are exploring -- even publicly vowing – to "decertify" President Joe Biden's victory, a move with no legal or constitutional basis.

In late March, Brooks told ABC News that Trump requested several times he "remove" Biden from office, under the fraudulent assertion that the 2020 election was somehow tampered with and illegally skewed in Biden's favor. Brooks, in his own telling of the interaction, said he refused Trump's requests, writing the move off as impossible.

"We didn't get into the details [of how it would happen] because it's legally impossible. And I explained that fairly promptly," Brooks told ABC News in a phone interview.

TFG Was so desperate to win by any means, I think his intention was to prove to Putin that democracy just plain doesn’t work
