"Here's the Deal," a new memoir by former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, has been released.
She claims that Trump lost the 2020 election and recounts the tense days leading up to the vote.
Other members of Trump's inner circle, she claims, "played along… when Trump insisted on winning."
In a new tell-all memoir, one of President Donald Trump's closest advisers claims he lost the 2020 election.Kellyanne Conway, the president's former senior advisor and the last of his 2016 campaign managers, makes her most direct statement yet in her new book, "Here's the Deal," which was released on Tuesday.
"Despite the massive sums of money raised by Trump, his crew was unable to complete the task. A job that was attainable and followed a clear route "Conway discussed the 2020 presidential race. "Rather than taking responsibility for the loss, they played along and cheered Trump on (in private, not on TV)."
Conway's confession is important since the former president still claims he won the election and that it was stolen from him, despite the lack of evidence to back up his claim. As they cater to the party's conservative base, several far-right Republican candidates competing in the 2022 primary continue to repeat Trump's fraudulent assertions. Trump also utilized Twitter and his bully pulpit to claim victory in the election, ending in a violent attempt by Trump's supporters to prevent Congress from recognizing the results on January 6, 2021.In nine critical states, Democrats and Republicans will compete for Senate seats in November.
The results will determine who controls the Senate for the coming year.
According to polling, Republican congressional candidates have an advantage over Democrats.
This year, there will be 34 US Senate elections, although only nine of them will determine who controls the chamber.
Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin are all significant swing states for both Democrats and Republicans. The Cook Political Report, which covers congressional and presidential contests, as well as operatives and pollsters from both parties, considers them all close.
In four of those states, Democrats are on defense, while Republicans are fighting to keep five more. Control of the US Senate is at stake for both parties, and whoever maintains power in January 2023 will determine what, if anything, President Joe Biden can do in his final two years in office.
The Senate is barely in Democratic hands. The chamber is split 50-50 between the two parties, with Vice President Kamala Harris functioning as a tiebreaker (the chamber's two independents, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine, caucus with Democrats).
Republicans are hoping to remove at least one incumbent Democrat by capitalizing on voter concerns about inflation and dissatisfaction with the lingering pandemic.
Perhaps the political winds are on their side. According to recent polling, voters are dissatisfied with Democrats, owing to economic worries. In a February ABC News poll, registered voters gave Republican congressional candidates a seven-point lead over Democratic contenders. The divide is much wider among registered voters who are certain to vote, with Republican candidates leading Democratic candidates 54-41 percent.
While local variables will play a part in each of those senate contests, national ones such as Trump's persistent hold on Republican voters, economic uncertainty, and displeasure over the coronavirus pandemic will almost certainly play a role in determining the balance of power in Washington.Conway's book chronicles the frenzied days leading up to the 2020 presidential election, when the Trump team and its allies worked to delegitimize Joe Biden's rightful election. A team of Trump lawyers spent weeks filing lawsuits in areas where Biden won, but all of them were dismissed."Supplicant after sycophant after showman" "genuflected in front of the Resolute Desk and promised the president products they could not deliver," Conway said.
"They denied the candidate the evidence he sought and the respect he deserved by not facing him with the dismal reality of his predicament, that the proof had not arisen to back the charges," she wrote.
Conway also portrayed herself in the book as a lone voice of reason among a staff eager to please Trump.
She wrote, "I may have been the first person in Donald Trump's inner circle to tell him that he had failed this time."
"If you look at the vote totals in the Electoral College count, it looks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will prevail," Conway told The 19th in December 2020, referring to the book.
"We will move on as a nation," Conway said at the time.
Despite her criticism of Trump's and his team's handling of the 2020 race, Conway remains a strong Trump ally.
