According to The Washington Post, Donald Trump continued to argue that Republicans needed to get tougher at the ballot box during a Saturday speech to Republican National Committee donors.
The vote counter is more important than the candidate, according to Trump.
He said that Republicans needed to be more vigilant about the tabulation process, despite there being no evidence of widespread election malfeasance in 2020.
Despite President Joe Biden having won both Georgia and Wisconsin in the 2020 election, with both states certifying the results without any proof of widespread fraud, Trump has continued to assert that he was victorious in those closely-contested electoral battlegrounds.
According to The Post, Trump argued that he must have won Georgia because of his victories in neighboring Alabama and South Carolina.
In Georgia, Biden beat Trump by nearly 12,000 votes out of nearly 5 million ballots cast, and in Wisconsin he beat the former president by 20,000 votes. In Alabama, one of his best-performing states in the country, Trump won the majority of the vote, while in South Carolina, he won the majority of the vote.
Despite only emerging as the victor in the 2016 contest against Hillary Clinton, Trump went on to claim that he was the winner in two presidential races.
He told the RNC donors that he felt obligated to do it again. We are very focused on it. We have to do it. We have to do it.
Since leaving the White House in January 2021, Trump has teased a 2024 presidential campaign during interviews and at rallies across the country, effectively locking out many candidates who could dominate the conservative lane but are deferring to the former president, who is still enormously popular among the Republican base.
On Friday, former Vice President Mike Pence spoke about his own vision for the direction of the GOP at the RNC event.
The party cannot win by fighting yesterday's battles, or by relitigating the past, according to the vice president.
