Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump insists it is “obvious” former President Donald Trump accepts the results of elections.
During an interview on Newsmax’s Eric Bolling’s show, Lara Trump was asked about comments from prominent Democrats such as former President Barack Obama about her father-in-law, Donald Trump, not accepting the results of the 2024 election and if they are “coordinated.”
“I think, isn’t it all coordinated? Isn’t all of this stuff coming from one place?” she responded.
She went on:
“It’s pretty obvious that Donald Trump does accept election results even despite the fact that it was a very questionable election in 2020 because Joe Biden is, unfortunately, sitting in the Oval Office today.”

Finally, Lara Trump said, “What Donald Trump has said – and I think he’s exactly right – is that we should have free, fair, and transparent elections. And unfortunately, Eric, there are millions and millions of Americans out there who don’t feel like they can trust our electoral process. We can’t function as a country like that.”
“So he said, yes, if I feel like this is a fair election, but I feel like you guys didn’t interfere in any way like they are obviously trying to do with all these bogus cases against him, then no problem. I’m happy to accept the results of the election,” she added.
Donald Trump has said the 2020 election “rigged,” and pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results on Jan. 6, 2021.
He has also claimed the 2024 election could be stolen.
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll from Jan. 2024 found that 52% of the former president’s supports said they have no confidence the results of this year’s presidential election will be counted accurately.
By contrast, 7% said they did have confidence the results would be reported accurately.
