Speaking to Fox host Bret Baier on Monday, former President Donald Trump maintained that he was not only winning in 2024, but that he won "big" in 2020.
Baier forced Trump to look at the poll numbers of women that are fleeing the Republican Party, particularly after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. While there was always support for upholding abortion rights, it was never as high as it is now. NPR cited a poll showing 4 in 5 voters now support the right to an abortion.
Baier asked Trump how he can win back such voters with that strategy.
"You're not looking at the right polls," Trump told Baier.
"What do you tell that female, independent voter that voted against you in 2020," Baier asked.
"First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot, okay?" Trump said with a twinge of anger. "Let's get that straight. I won in 2020."
"You know, that's not what — that's not," Baier tried to correct him.
"And if you look at all of the tapes, if you look at everything that you want to look at — you take a look at 'Truth to Vote' where they have people stuffing the ballot boxes on tapes, or."
"Mr. President, those were all looked into," Baier corrected.
Trump immediately pivoted to attack Hunter Biden, rambled about the FBI and Twitter and then claimed everything was corrupt.
"But you lost the 2020 election," said Baier.
Appearing to call him "Brad," Trump said that the "stuffed ballots" and "all of the things, including the 51 intelligence agents."
Baier said that there were recounts in all 50 states.
"We're trying to get recounts, real recounts," Trump claimed.
Baier said that there was no evidence of widespread corruption and not a single instance of it. "There were lawsuits more than 50 of them by your lawyers, some in front of judges you appointed."
"Look at Wisconsin," Trump said with no context.
"With no evidence," Baier cut in.
Trump claimed Wisconsin "practically admitted it was all rigged. Other states are doing the same and it continues to be rigged..."
Baier quoted the instances of voter fraud that were investigated.
"You know why Bret because they weren't looking at the right things, Bret," Trump said.
The interview continued in that fashion for several minutes.
Trump never answered how he would address concerns of suburban, independent women.
