5 Winners This Week Believe 2020 Election Was Stolen

August 5, 2022 at 11:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“At least five Republican primary winners in battleground states won by Joe Biden embraced Donald Trump’s baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen,” CBS News reports.

“Several took action to try to overturn the 2020 election results when Trump lost their states, and if elected in November, they could have the power to block or delay the certification of election results in their states in the 2024 presidential election.”
