Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) is pushing back against President Trump's baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud in the election, calling his recent White House address "hard to watch."

Toomey spoke with Today on Friday morning about Trump's Thursday night speech from the White House, in which the president claimed without evidence that he is being cheated out of a re-election victory and baselessly alleged widespread voter fraud had occurred. Toomey's state of Pennsylvania is among the key battlegrounds where votes continue to be counted.
