Republicans were not eager to address Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power if he loses. Just 4 of 168 RNC members and 1 of 26 GOP governors responded to requests for comment. ⁦@reidepstein⁩ ⁦@ESCochrane⁩ ⁦@GlennThrush⁩ https://t.co/mSwAiWKAHN — PolitiTweet.org

I'm afraid it's not these days. Remember, we don't have a newsroom. Everyone is patching this together from home, distribution is more complicated and the presses run much earlier. The vast bulk of readers get our news from our website and this has been the lead story all day. — PolitiTweet.org

Alas, print papers are still limited by old factory realities, and deadlines are even earlier now because of covid. But the story has been leading our home page and phone app all day because it is an important story. And the vast bulk of our readers get our news online these days — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

For anyone wondering about today's print front page, Trump's comments refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power came late in the day, after initial deadlines, so it was a scramble just to get the story into the physical paper before the presses ran. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Massachusetts's Gov. Baker says the partisan battle over when to replace Ginsburg is “100 percent, ends-justify-the-means, classic Washington behavior” and is driving attention away from the virus that has killed 200,000 Americans. @MattPStout https://t.co/eoeeyksTh1 — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's lead shrinks from 10 points to 5 points in @Yahoo @YouGov poll. At the same time, most voters say the winner of the election should pick the next Supreme Court justice, rather than Trump. @AndrewRomano https://t.co/pqCHvoC7Bu — PolitiTweet.org

McEnany just cited Jimmy Carter as validation of the attack on mail-in voting. Carter himself earlier this month rejected that, saying where there are safeguards in place "there was little evidence of voter fraud." https://t.co/DdZz7ATcrE — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Republican inquiry concludes that Hunter Biden "cashed in" on his father's name and collected seven-figure sums from foreigners, but finds no evidence that the former vice president improperly influenced policy as a result. @npfandos https://t.co/jA1NrZLs7r — PolitiTweet.org

"The worst case...is not that Trump rejects the election outcome," @bartongellman wrote just hours before Trump refused to pledge peaceful transfer of power if he loses. "The worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him." https://t.co/NbIITN3z6b — PolitiTweet.org

More than 100,000 voters have already cast ballots in person in Virginia and nearly 900,000 more have requested absentee ballots. In all of 2016, just 350,000 Virginians opted for early in-person voting and about 185,000 voted absentee. ⁦@LVozzella⁩ https://t.co/frxqrY5QBn — PolitiTweet.org
