Republican Senator Rob Portman of Ohio broke from President Donald Trump's messaging on Monday and said there is "no evidence" that widespread election fraud would change the results "in any state."

In an op-ed published in The Cincinnati Enquirer, Portman wrote, "there is no evidence as of now of any widespread fraud or irregularities that would change the result in any state."
