“She was not manipulated. It was not stolen. Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It is very clear, “he added.
Ryan’s comments come as Trump and his Republican Party allies continue to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen because of widespread voter fraud.
Wisconsin Republicans are moving forward with a forensic audit of state presidential ballots in 2020. Biden won Badger State by about 20,700 votes over Trump.
A Wisconsin State Assembly committee on Monday voted to appoint former Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge Michael Gableman as special counsel to conduct the audit.
Under the agreement, the Republican-controlled legislature can spend up to $ 680,000 on the probe, far more than the original contract was required.

“Things changed a bit when Robin Vos came down and visited Donald Trump and got that beautiful image on the plane,” Evers said. “Apparently, everyone drinks Kool-Aid. But I think it was very, very unfortunate. ”
Ryan told WISN that Trump “legitimately lost” the 2020 race, noting that all of his legal challenges to the election results were thrown in the courts.
“It exhausted the judicial challenges,” Ryan said. “None of them went their own way, so they lost legitimately. Are there organized misdemeanors in the election? Sure. Is there fraud? Yes. It was organized to the extent that it would have changed the Electoral College and the presidential election? Absolutely not. “
Ryan also offered a broader critique of Trump’s control over the Republican Party, saying, “I think we’ll continue to lose if we get involved with one person. We haven’t lost so quickly in a very, very long time.”
However, the former president, who is currently a visiting professor of political science and economics at Notre Dame, said he had no immediate plans to return to politics.
“Who knows what the future holds, but nothing in the near future, that’s for sure,” Ryan said.
