Steve Daines
Daines was one of the early supporters of Donald Trump and has done so throughout his presidency, consistently siding with the former president and releasing statements to bolster that. After voting to acquit Trump in his impeachment trial on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to his request that Ukraine announces an investigation into Joe Biden, Daines said it was the most partisan impeachment trial in history. He suggested the impeachment was to “overturn the election of 2016 and try to define the election of 2020”
The senator from Montana also joined 11 other Republican senators in that failed attempt to overturn the presidential election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania, but after the events of January 6, he would withdraw his objection.
