“Trump’s Contested Report Poses a Rift in His Inner Circle.
As the 2020 presidential election wraps up, the Trump campaign has continued to push for an extensive audit of election results across the country. However, a newly-released polling report, intended to support the President’s case, is being criticized for its lack of accuracy and credibility.
The report, commissioned by Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and composed by a now-retired polling firm, was meant to prove that Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election was the result of voter fraud. Unfortunately, the report only includes inaccurate or unsubstantiated claims.
The report claims, without evidence, that Biden won by a “small” margin due to mailed-in ballots, which were “potentially fraudulent”. It also purports that these supposedly fraudulent vote totals originated in heavily Democratic states, seemingly implying a coordinated effort to secure a Democratic victory.
These claims have since been debunked by experts. Early voting was higher than normal, and the approval of mail-in ballots did in fact favor Democrats. However, actual fraud allegations were investigated and found to be baseless.
The report has been met with criticism from both Republican and Democratic officials. Many prominent GOP figures, such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have condemned the report and have urged the President to accept the election results.
At the moment, it appears that there is a deep divide amongst President Trump’s inner circle on whether or not to accept the results. Some advisers have encouraged the President to focus on promoting his legacy rather than contesting the election, while others appear to still be staunchly supporting his efforts to audit the ballots.
It remains to be seen whether or not the President will accept the election results, or if he will continue to promote the debunked report from his inner circle. Whatever the case may be, it is clear that there is a deep and widening rift between those who want to move on and those who are still supporting Trump’s efforts to call foul on the election.
