We asked every lawmaker if they'd uphold the 2024 election results. Here's what was said

That was the question USA TODAY asked in survey of all 382 members of the House running for re-election and 91 Senators who are either running for re-election or would still be in office in January. (The remaining lawmakers either lost their primary races, are seeking a different office or are retiring from Congress.)

We posed the same question to 747 candidates running for Congress whose names are on the ballot this year.

The question comes after the 2020 election when then-President Donald Trump didn't want to accept that he had lost his bid for re-election against President Joe Biden, and tried to convince members of Congress to object to the votes of each state's electors.
