GOP Sen. Mike Rounds doubles down on saying the 2020 election was fair after Trump calls him a jerk

After Donald Trump criticized him for saying it the first time, GOP Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota said again that he believed the 2020 election was fair.

Rounds told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that the 2020 presidential election was fair.

Republicans did not win the election.

Trump said he would never endorse the senator again.

Is he crazy or stupid? In his statement, Trump said something. Even though his election will not happen for 5 years, I will never endorse him again.

Rounds responded to Trump's statement with one of his own. He said he was disappointed but not surprised by Trump's reaction, but he still stands by his statement that the election was fair.

I stand by my words. He said that the former president lost the election.

There was no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the results of the election.
