New Jersey’s Democratic State Committee is calling on Republican leaders to stand up to President Donald Trump after a stunning phone conversation was recorded this weekend between the president and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

In the call, Trump asks Raffensperger to help him “find” the votes to win the election and to overturn the certified election results. It’s an unprecedented effort by a sitting president. Will the GOP fall in line or buck his disproven claims? Senior Correspondent David Cruz reports.
