Big lie
The secretary of state who earned GOP ire for refusing to help steal Georgia upset Trump’s preferred candidate Tuesday. But the “big lie” is far from dead.
Heading into a wave of GOP primaries, election denialism is at the core of the GOP 18 months after Trump’s loss.
“If they win the general election, we’ve got real problems on our hands,” said former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman.
Barr even said this time around he'd "absolutely" get involved to help a candidate defeat Trump in the primary.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
One MSNBC host issued a warning about the 2024 election if Republicans gain control of the House of Representatives and Donald Trump runs for office again.
"He is admitting that his election lies are ego juice, just there to pump up the crowd, the very stuff that fueled the insurrection," the anchor said.
The House's second-ranking Republican repeated without evidence the false claim that states did not follow the Constitution when certifying their votes.
“They’re not going to f**king succeed.” In a new book excerpt, Gen. Mark Milley said he was afraid that Donald Trump would try to use the military to stay in office after losing the 2020 election.
President Joe Biden pointed to his predecessor’s false claims of election fraud as proof that the U.S. needs new laws to protect voting rights.
The president pointed out that many of the bills in statehouses restricting voting have used as justification Trump’s debunked claims of a "rigged election."
