When
CNN and other news outlets projected on Saturday that Joe Biden had won the presidency, the streets of Democratic strongholds like New York, Washington and Chicago erupted in celebrations that lasted into the night. But among President Donald Trump's supporters, reactions varied from anger and defiance to disappointment and resignation.
On what was a sunny Saturday throughout much of the nation, CNN reporters fanned out across traditionally Republican districts and encountered dozens of deeply unhappy Trump supporters. While some grudgingly accepted the emerging reality, plenty more were adamant that they did not trust the results, echoing the President's baseless claims of voter fraud.
"It's all fixed," said Randy Tovichi, a Trump supporter in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, a swing region that narrowly backed Trump in 2016 and 2020. "There's so much corruption going on in the vote count," said Tovichi, who spoke to CNN as he wheeled his grocery cart through a crowded parking lot. There's been no evidence of any fraud among the more than 140 million ballots cast nationwide.
