During a campaign appearance at a state Republican Party event in Kissimmee, Florida, Donald Trump claimed that he actually won all fifty states in the 2020 election.
“Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 U.S. election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.
Mr Trump faces 91 criminal charges across four indictments, two of which are related to election interference. He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.
During a speech at the Freedom Summit, outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday night, he referred to his victories in the Republican primaries in the run-up to the 2020 U.S. election and said: ‘We won, the last time, 50 states, think of it, 50 states’.
‘We won every state. We then did great in the election. We got 12 million more votes or so … 12 million more votes than we got the first time’.
‘The whole thing is a lie … the whole election is a lie’”. -Jason Dasey, ABC News
Whereas Donald Trump did, in fact, receive considerably more votes in 2020 than he did in the 2016 election, it gets frequently overlooked that back in 2016, there were only 128,838,342 votes reported cast, as well as 126,849,299 reported cast in 2012 and 129,446,839 in 2008, while in the 2020 election, there were an astonishing 159,633,396 votes cast.
