Trump Admits 2020 Election Defeat 'By a Whisker'

Former president acknowledges loss but continues to claim election fraud in recent interview.

Trump told podcaster Lex Fridman that he lost the 2020 election by a narrow margin.
This marks a shift from his long-standing rhetoric denying the election results.
Despite the admission, Trump reiterated unfounded claims of widespread election fraud.
The former president's comments come amid his ongoing 2024 presidential campaign.
Observers speculate this change in tone may be a strategic move to appeal to independent voters.
