‘We simply did not win the election for the presidency’: GOP senator says no evidence for Trump claims

A Republican senator who broke publicly with former President Donald Trump amid the latter’s false claims about the 2020 election worked on Sunday to reiterate that the former president lost to Joe Biden fairly.

"We simply did not win the election, as Republicans, for the presidency,” Mr Rounds said on Sunday.

“[I]f we simply look back and tell our people don't vote because there's cheating going on, then we're going to put ourselves in a huge disadvantage,” said the senator.

We simply did not win the election, as Republicans, for the presidency,” GOP Sen. Mike Rounds says.
