"Too big to rig": Trump maintains 2020 election denial in "Meet the Press" interview

Salon  

Donald Trump's first televised interview since Election Day was meant to be a forward-looking chat, but the president-elect couldn't help but relitigate his favorite grievances. Speaking to NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview that aired on Sunday, Trump maintained that the 2020 election was stolen from him and said that Democrats were unable to pull off another heist in 2024 because it was "too big." Trump kicked off the election denial portion of the wide-ranging interview by saying he didn't want to talk about it, before asserting that he won in 2020. When interviewer Kristen Welker asserted that Trump did lose in 2020, Trump called it an "opinion" that he disagreed with.
