President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Tuesday evening that he believes he won the popular vote in a true sense in 2016.
Trump, who won the electoral vote in the race against Hillary Clinton, told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that there was “tremendous cheating” during the 2016 contest. He did not provide any proof to support the claim.
“I think I did win the popular vote in a true sense,” Trump told Ingraham. “I think there was tremendous cheating in California. There was tremendous cheating in New York and other places.”
