In radio interview, denies losing Virginia in 2020 days after Youngkin win

Two days after Republican Glenn Youngkin won Virginia's governorship, Trump told radio host John Fredericks he still did not accept his own 2020 loss in the state, saying "I don't believe that we lost there. I don't believe we lost Virginia." He called the 2020 vote count "a mess," repeating unsubstantiated fraud claims about a state he lost by roughly ten points. Commentators noted Trump had made no comparable fraud claims about states he carried in 2020. The interview extended his pattern of using a Republican electoral win to relitigate the debunked 2020 fraud narrative rather than accept the outcome.

“I don't believe that we lost there. I don't believe we lost Virginia. ... What a mess, what a mess, this election process.” Quote verified against source
