In a recent exclusive interview with NBC News, Governor Ron DeSantis initially took an evasive stance when questioned about the 2020 election results. It was only after further pressing by NBC’s Dasha Burns that he conceded, stating, “Of course, he (Trump) lost… Joe Biden is the president.”

DeSantis’ response, however, came with the claim that the 2020 elections were not flawless. While it’s true that no election is perfect, the predominant fraudulent actions detected during this election were majorly attributed to Republicans, acting on behalf of the Republican party. Even though claims of fraud surrounding the election were abundant, there was no substantial evidence produced that could have changed the outcome.

Further controversy arose when individuals affiliated with Trump, including a former Republican state representative and Trump’s attorney, were implicated in alleged voting machine tampering incidents in Michigan. Additionally, at least three states have reported breaches in their election systems, with accusations aimed at those echoing Trump’s sentiments about the 2020 election’s integrity.

Donald Trump contested the election results through numerous lawsuits, all of which he lost. Although every candidate possesses the right to challenge election results, such challenges should ideally be grounded in substantial evidence, which was noticeably absent in Trump’s case.

DeSantis’ eventual acknowledgment that Trump lost the election has made headlines. This is particularly significant considering the wider Republican sentiment, which often refrains from openly admitting Biden’s victory by a considerable margin. Such hesitation to acknowledge the results fuels conspiracy theories suggesting that the presidency was unduly taken from Trump.

Conclusively, Donald Trump did not win the 2020 election. Those denying this fact seem to be doing so either under false pretenses or to appease their supporters. Trump’s challenges to the election, unsupported by credible evidence, showcased his prioritization of self-interest over the country’s democratic traditions.
