Summary

Donald Trump and other top Republicans have continued to lie about the results of the presidential election. Now, 62 percent of Republicans believe election fraud changed the results of the 2020 presidential election. It did not.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and voting and election security reporter Miles Parks.
