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."

Ugghhhh believe me, a lot of the people here don’t want to hear it. They could literally go over a cliff with Trump hurtling toward ground at warp speed & would still be denying reality. There are great things about Trump, I voted for him twice. Unfortunately half of what he dies is soooo counter productive. Laura is a fire breathing conservative in every way, but somehow in their minds- because she cautioned Trump to be smarter- they will convince themselves that she’s with the establishment 🙄 These are the same folks who will actively sit out a state election knowing it will elect a leftist Democrat because Trump didn’t give the Republican his blessing. I don’t like the moderates or the establishment types either. I vote against them in the primaries- but I still deal with reality in the general election. Anyone remember the Georgia elections for Senate. They sat out that election because Trump was angry with Georgia officials (rightly so). So Only Trumpers sat out the election. There are now 2 liberal Democrat US Senators from Georgia & a Democrat majority in the US Senate with Chucky Schumer running things. I am so tired of having our fortunes tied to these folks! Can’t win without them & they make it impossible to win with them given their behavior. All any of these geniuses will say in response is that anyone on our side is a moderate or an establishmentarian or a secret future Democrat. Nope! Solidly conservative on EVERYTHING!!! I’m just not tying my sense of identity as a conservative to any one person. I’m brutally aware that in order to succeed politically in championing conservatism or any other philosophy, you need far more than one person. You need a whole host of leaders & you need a majority of the electorate to vote you in. But they don’t seem capable of hearing that or taking criticism & changing course. So our choices recently have been- the old, corrupt, big business, moderate establishment or an Only Trump cult of personality that only cares about him & won’t live on after he’s gone & can’t win unless it converts more people I don’t like either of those choices. I strongly think we need a viable third option. I’m not willing to follow either of those groups off an electoral cliff. I actually care about conservatism & this country more than any candidate for President 😉
Shes not right. She’s just trying to appease her Trump hating overlords and save her failing tv show. The fact that the election had huge problems and our elections still do, including the current lawfare relection interference, illustrates how bad it has gotten..I’ve never like Laura, I like her even less now.
You do know that Trump was never working with anyone touting “Kraken” don’t you?
These states are the only ones that matter that trump must win or he will lose the election
Arizona
Georgia
Wisconsin
Nevada
He will have an automatic 235 votes. These 43 will put him over the top.
Exactly. She’s doing horribly in her new 7pm time slot and is hoping that y saying negative things about 2020 she will save her sorrow self.
Let’s not talk about it? Lol. It’s been non stop talk of it. 60 lawsuits, billions of dollars. What more do you want?
Wow you may be the only one listening to her!
HA and so sad for you!
Thanks for the report from nobody cares two cents what she says and apparently her employers agree! LOL! ;)
Exactly.
Take action you say? He had plenty of time to fix the election mess and didn’t lift a finger from 2017-2021.
That is YOUR opinion.
I disagree.
Have a good night, nurse.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it,
And there are none from the DeSantis camp?
Your thoughtful post is appreciated.
As always the problem will be the cheat, him or anyone else should he suffer a premature yanking.
Exactly. I formerly watched only one show on FAUX News, Tucker Carlson.
Yep.
HARRUMPH. Now I hate Fox News. HARRUMPH!
Trump is a proven Loser.
I watched it and agree. She also advised DeSantis to quit talking so much about his accomplishments in Florida, although they are good. See the bigger picture.
