Trump pressures Arizona governor to overturn election loss despite lack of evidence

  • Trump repeatedly called Arizona Governor Doug Ducey after losing the state in the 2020 election, urging him to find fraudulent votes to overcome Biden's win.
  • Trump enlisted Vice President Mike Pence to also call Ducey, but Pence did not pressure the governor.
  • Ducey defended the integrity of Arizona's election and certified the results showing Biden's narrow victory in the state.
  • While Ducey felt pressure from Trump's entreaties, Arizona election officials found no evidence the outcome would have changed.
  • Trump also pressured officials in other states he lost narrowly, like Georgia, to overturn results, with a Georgia prosecutor investigating his call there.
