Rob Portman actually said...

"The transition to Biden should begin."

"Based on all the information currently available, neither a final lawful vote counts nor the recounts have led to a different outcome in any state."

"The president should not have raised the Biden issue on that call, period. It's not appropriate for a president to engage a foreign government in an issue of a political opponent."

"Rob Portman... said he didn't think it was appropriate for the president to make that kind of request of the Ukrainians during his phone call."
