President Donald Trump’s push to prioritize what he calls “election integrity” is grounded in his continued unfounded contention that he was cheated out of reelection in 2020.
Speaking at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner on April 8, about five months after winning the 2024 presidential election, it was clear the issue was still on his mind.
“It’s been a brilliant period of years. And we go back to 2016. It was brilliant. Then they stole it from us by illegally rigging the election,” Trump said. “And we did great in that election, but we had to write it off.”
