GREEN BAY, Wis.— Donald Trump returned to Wisconsin Tuesday night for the first time in nearly two years, re-introducing himself to the battleground state with misleading claims about the 2020 election. “You know we won this state. We won this state by a lot. It came out that we won this,” Trump told the crowd at a rally here. Trump won Wisconsin in 2016; he did not win the state in 2020.
Two attorneys who worked for Trump orchestrated a plan that originated in Wisconsin for fake electors to falsify paperwork saying Trump won the state, according to a lawsuit settlement reached more than three years after the 2020 election. That strategy was replicated in other key battleground states. Despite Trump continuing to re-litigate the past election, top allies have tried to change the subject and look toward 2024 as opposed to the past election.
