Trump campaign staff on 2020 election lies: ‘fan the flame’

February 04, 2023

The audio centers on Andrew Iverson, who was the head of Trump’s campaign in the state. In response to questions about the audio, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said: “The 2024 campaign is focused on competing in every state and winning in a dominating fashion. Yet, two days after the election, there was no discussion of Trump having won the state during the meeting of Republican campaign operatives. In the weeks after the election, Trump and his allies would file dozens of lawsuits, convene fake electors and pressure election officials in an attempt to overturn the will of the voters and keep Trump in office. They give a postmortem of sorts on the election, praising Republican turnout and campaign efforts while acknowledging the Democrats’ robust turn-out-the-vote campaign.
