Nearly 100 Democratic House members signed onto a resolution to censure President Donald Trump after his phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger where Trump discussed alleged election fraud and put pressure on Raffensberger, although some—including Trump’s campaign—have said the excerpts of the phone call were taken entirely out of context.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) introduced the resolution Monday to censure the president. Now, 91 other Democrats have signed on to the measure, Johnson’s office said in a statement.
