Donald Trump returned to Wisconsin for a rally where he continued to falsely claim he won the state in 2020.
While turnout was higher than 2016 and he did receive more votes, Trump lost Wisconsin to Joe Biden by over 20,000 votes.
“You know we won this state. We won this state by a lot. It came out that we won this,” Trump said.
“We actually did much better than the first time,” he said. “We won it in Wisconsin, as you know, the first time. The second time we did much better, but I guess it was delayed. They found out a lot of wrongdoing. And after the wrongdoing was found, people said, ‘Well, he actually did win.’”
Trump has pushed these baseless claims of election fraud despite Republican officials wanting to move on.
“I think we are past that. I think that’s in the past,” Lara Trump said. “The past is the past, and unfortunately we had to learn a couple of hard lessons in 2020.”
Wisconsin played a central role in Trump’s attempts to overturn the election by orchestrating fake electors.
The Green Bay rally, though, underscored how that message has not yet reached some of Trump’s most intense base voters.
However, at the Green Bay rally both Trump and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a prominent advocate of the false stolen election claims, told the enthusiastic crowd that Wisconsin was wrongly decided in 2020.
“We all know what happened in Wisconsin in the 2020 election,” Lindell said.
