Republicans often bite lips during Trump rows. Not today.

Mitch McConnell, GOP Senate leader: “Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions +the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time. We’ll find a way to do that again this Nov3”
Kevin McCarthy, Republican House leader: "Never in the history of federal elections have we ever not held an election and we should go forward with our election.”
Lindsey Graham, Republican senator +Trump confident: "I don’t think that’s a particularly good idea"

Ted Cruz, Republican senator +usually loyal. “Election fraud is a serious problem we need to stop it and fight it, but no the election should not be delayed"

(Both via @mkraju)
Marco Rubio (!!), Republican senator: "He can suggest whatever he wants. The law is what it is. We’re going to have an election that’s legitimate, it’s going to be credible, it’s going to be the same as we’ve always done it.”
Chuck Grassley, a Republican senator Trump often praises:

“It doesn’t matter what an individual in this country says, we still are a country based on the rule of law, we must follow the law until either the Constitution is changed or until the law is changed.”

(Via @igorbobic)
John Barrasso, the 3rd most senior Republican senator, on Fox Business:

"No, we are not going to delay the election. We're going to have the election completed and voting completed by Election Day."
Thom Tillis, Republican senator: “The election is not going to be delayed."

Lamar Alexander, Republican senator: "If we were to delay the election past Jan. 20, the president would be the speaker of the House." (Ie Nancy Pelosi)
