Former President Donald Trump is behaving like a "whiner" by obsessively focusing on false claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to massive fraud, according to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
The conservative pundit urged Trump to "stop talking about 2020" if he wants to win the 2024 presidential election during the latest episode of The Ingraham Angle on Friday night, warning the ex-president that he would not win over "a single voter" if he does not change his tactics.
Ingraham also admonished Trump for launching attacks on Republican politicians in battleground states for failing to endorse him or being reluctant to swear their fealty, pointing out the former president's disparaging comments about Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
"Keep your eye on the prize: 270 electoral votes," Ingraham said, apparently addressing the former president directly. "Attacking popular Republican senators or governors in battleground states is more than unwise, it's self-destructive. Why do it?"
"Voters in a general election want to vote for a winner, not a whiner," she continued. "So please, for the love of God, stop talking about 2020. That will not bring a single voter out to support you who didn't support you before. You need to grow the pot, not shrink it."
...
Friday was not the first time that Ingraham has laid into Trump for continuing to focus on his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. During a broadcast in March, the Fox News host said that "marinating in old claims of election fraud will not win over a single voter in any state that [Trump] needs to win in 2024."

FYI, I was a Republican election observer in 2020, I will do so again in 2024. I highly recommend everyone to volunteer as observers or even as election workers, which I did for 10 years in Virginia many years ago, couldn't in 2020 because of work obligations. I'll revisit that in 2024.
LOL....head whiner of Faux News.....pouting about someone whining.
Who even watches Faux, anymore?
Talk about a sinking ship.
It’s not just Trump. It’s all the only Trumpers who keep telling us that we should vote for Trump.
Because he had his 2020 election stolen.
I never liked her. Didn’t she walk off of Hannity & Colmes for not getting enough speaking time? She was a Bush bot too.
She’s trying to help him.
She is right.
Laura Ingraham took one look at what happened to Tucker and said: “I will comply.”
They blatantly steal the election. Let’s just not talk about and hope the Uniparty got religion and won’t steal it in ‘24. That sounds like a plan. Of course this RINO is going go along with what her Uniparty masters at FOX tell her. I find it very hard to believe that you agree that election was legit. Blows my mind!
LOL...she’s the LAST person whose advice Pres Trump should take.
She is paid by Moloch Murdoch. Faux News now literally funds a Satanist “church”. She has sold out.
I wouldn’t call Trump a whiner, but agree he should stop talking about it. If he wants new voters, he needs to look forward.
I hope someone is observing lockboxes.
Trump shouldn’t take advice from someone who has never succeeded at an endeavor of this magnitude.
Not even those who watch Faux News can stomach the Ingraham show.
Ask him about 2020, then try to paint him as obsessed with 2020…
Faux News keeps up the same tact as 16…
Carry that water for that paycheck…
Why anyone watched cable “news” is beyond me, there are no more misinformed people on this planet than the regular viewers of cable and network “news”
That small dose of Tough Love will probably get Trump’s attention, but she is correct. First things first, which is to get elected, or rally enough broad based voter interest to support you right now.
I won’t miss that nasal whine that is Ingram.
Trump shouldn’t take advice from someone who has never succeeded at an endeavor of this magnitude.
This.
I’d say him vowing to go after the deep state with a meat cleaver & to flush the globalist climate change shit right down the toilet are even better reasons.
But yeah, the dems, papers, social media & the DOD/FBI/CIA/DOJ/FEC colluding to install the Biden cadaver in the white house is another important reason to support Trump
She’s correct. It is foolish to insult and bully popular politicians—and thus their voting constituents—in battleground states. The behavior will not convert to precious votes needed to win an election. This is not a difficult concept to comprehend.
