GOP senator says Trump's election allegations are unfounded
Source: Politico
Sen. Mike Rounds on Sunday made it clear that he didnt subscribe to Trumps conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being stolen from him.
As a part of our due diligence, we looked at over 60 different accusations made in multiple states, the South Dakota Republican said on ABCs This Week. While there were some irregularities, there were none of the irregularities which would have risen to the point where they would have changed the vote outcome in a single state.
He added: The election was fair, as fair as we have seen.
Looking toward the 2022 midterms, which could break the deadlock in what is now a 50-50 Senate, Rounds said Republicans must move past unfounded allegations that Trump was cheated out of a victory if they wish to prevail.
