Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), strongly responded to CNN guest host Kasie Hunt during her appearance on “State of the Union With Jake Tapper and Dana Bash” regarding the acceptance of the 2024 election outcome. Discussing the recent guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump and the RNC’s stance on her father-in-law’s upcoming sentencing on July 11, Lara Trump was asked by Hunt about the mixed responses from other Republicans on the potential election results.
“Of course, if this is a free, fair, and transparent election, absolutely. Actually we‘re doing everything we can from the RNC to ensure that indeed that happens. We are working overtime to make sure that every American Republican, Democrat, and independent feels good about our electoral process because, Kasie, we can‘t repeat an election like we had in 2020 where you had half the country with huge sweeping questions about what happened that never got answered. That‘s not who we are as a country, we need transparency,” Lara Trump stated.
“If Joe Biden wins, will you —” Hunt attempted.
“If it is a free and fair election, absolutely, but will you guys? If Donald Trump wins, will you accept those results? Because that‘s the real question. Everybody has said, will we accept them? Of course, we will, but we want a free election and —” Lara Trump continued.
“Well there was zero evidence of widespread fraud that could have change the ultimate outcome in 2020,” Hunt jumped in.
“Absolutely not, most of those lawsuits were swept away on clerical errors. And actually, if you look at people who were told that the Hunter Biden laptop story was a fake story, enough of them would have voted against Joe Biden and for Donald Trump, that it solely would’ve swung the election in and of itself. So that alone is enough,” Lara Trump responded.
“But then people really wanted to know, well what happened across the country? We never got those answers. I can tell you, yes. We will accept the results of this election if we feel that it is free, fair, and transparent, and we are working overtime to ensure that indeed that happens.”
