Despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden by more than seven million votes, Donald Trump tells a Republican summit near Orlando that he would have won every state if not for widespread voter fraud.
Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.
He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.
Earlier in the evening, former state governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie urged the party to move past Mr Trump — ahead of the latter’s criminal and civil trials — to boost its chances of winning the 2024 election.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a one-time friend and advisor who has become Mr Trump’s most vocal Republican critic, having broken with the ex-TV reality star after the 2020 election, was also booed by the audience and heckled as a “loser” and a “traitor”.
Florida will also be the venue for the third presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, which Mr Trump is again expected to skip, holding his own, alternative event.
The state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr Trump’s closest challenger but with a meagre 14 per cent support, failed to land a punch on the man who once endorsed him but has since become a political enemy.
