Trump’s Live Phone Interview Took An Unexpected Turn As Fox News Called A Minnesota Race

Fox News viewers on Tuesday were treated to a live reaction from President Donald Trump as the network called the Minnesota Senate race for Democrat Peggy Flanagan.

After host Bret Baier called the race, Trump began to rant about alleged fraud in Minnesota before peddling more of his election conspiracy rhetoric.

“But Minnesota, it’s been 1952; Richard Nixon was the last to win it, and it’s a joke because I won it three times, and the people that count the votes are much more important than the candidates. So that’s what I complain about, but it’s not gonna matter because the end result is what you saw tonight on television,” Trump said.

He likely meant to say 1972 was the last time a Republican won the state of Minnesota in a presidential election.

Baier then pressed Trump on whether he would accept the results of Tuesday’s election, which saw the Democrats winning control of both the Senate and House of Representatives.

Trump has already begun placing blame on everybody but himself for his party’s massive losses. He told the Wall Street Journal that the Iran war was partly to blame for the GOP’s woes. Trump also claimed that his absence from the ballot contributed to the election results and blamed Texas Republican Gov. Gregg Abbot for losing his reelection bid to Democrat Gina Hinojosa.

“If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
