Fox News’ interview with former President Donald Trump on Monday became tense after host Bret Baier told Trump, “But you lost the 2020 election.” After Trump was asked how would win back the independent, suburban women voters who were a “hard no” in supporting him despite disapproving of President Joe Biden, Trump said, “First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot, ok? Let’s get that straight. I won in 2020.” “That’s not what the votes show,” Baier shot back. Trump insisted, “You take a look at Truth the Vote, where they have people stuffing the ballot boxes on...

It was predicted to be huge and historic. But it was bigger than that. Wisconsin's turnout rate in Tuesday's presidential primary exceeded the state’s own bullish forecast, topped any Wisconsin primary since 1972, and easily bested that of any state that has voted this year except for New Hampshire. Nearly 2.1 million Wisconsinites voted, based on unofficial returns. Essentially, half the people that could vote did vote: roughly 47% of the state’s voting-age population and an estimated 49% of all eligible voting-age citizens. "That’s unusual," said turnout expert Michael McDonald, for a contest "this late in the presidential election calendar."

His company has been hired by the US Army in the past, and has ties to George Soros, although somewhat distant.
