WASHINGTON — As the Republican Party gears up for the 2024 presidential race, there’s a large image in the rearview mirror that refuses to go away: The 2020 presidential election.
About a week ago, the Colorado GOP selected a 2020 election denier to lead the party for the next two years. That came weeks after the Michigan Republicans selected a 2020 denier to lead their party as well.
When a party loses a presidential election, typically it sorts through the wreckage and figures out how to move forward. The GOP, however, has not done this following the aftermath of the 2020 election. A new paper authored by two academics from Stanford University has found that this has had consequences. The paper argues refusal to move on has real impacts on the party in two important ways. First, the attitude makes Republicans more likely to nominate election deniers in primaries. And two, if and when those election-denier candidates get their nominations, they are likely to face additional challenges in general elections.
The paper specifically compared the 2022 primary and general election results for statewide Republican candidates who were and who were not election deniers, finding some concrete effects.
The paper found that Republicans who were election deniers received, on average, a bump of about 2 points in primaries compared to the non-election-denying Republicans, meaning they were more likely to win the nomination. But when the general election came along, election-denying Republicans performed 2.3 points worse, on average, than Republicans who say who held, correctly, that President Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020.

Wow, the pliant media regurgitates the denier label.
“GOP election deniers fare worse at the ballot box, on average”
With non-stop stories about Trump getting arrested, it seems that the Media/Globalists are trying to send his a supporters A MESSAGE, which is that Trump is no longer a political figure, and it’s time to move on and vote for a ‘Mainstream’ Republican, like Jeb.
so what is it? They stay home figuring got a good guy running, he’ll win without my vote?
Yep, deep state wants to regain control.
No one on our side denies that there were rigged ballot procuring & collections in the 2020 “election”. That was the problem. And we will need to do the same thing to win.
Election denier? Oh, that negro means, election integrity supporter.
To quote Trent Reznor, "I'd rather die, than give you control!"
.... are trying to send his a supporters A MESSAGE ....
That message being, “Sit down & shut up or you will be next.
Anyone one honestly believes that Resident Retard got 81 million votes should immediately check themselves into a mental institution...
“To quote Trent Reznor, “I’d rather die, than give you control!””
Garland and his goons are happy to indulge you.
GOP election deniers
Hahahaha.
The lib Republicans lose too if the Democrats want the seat.
Knowing NBC News / Comcast to be among the leaders of the fake news industry, do you really think they would tell us this if it were true. They would much prefer even more Republican candidates adopt the same platform, so as to make them even less likely to win.
How many times have you seen the terms “fraud deniers”, “far left”, “ultra left-wing” in NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, WAPO, etc????
The MI state house and senate was lost for the first time in decades. The members were not GOP, they were GOPe - and the state level RINOs are just like the fed do-nothings. That why they lost, people are just not going to turn out, the days of voting for the lesser of evils has been over here for some time.
Yep. I would pity them if they were not so despicable.
Come on folks, this comes from NBC News, by far along with The NY Times, the tops in fake news.
