After the recent annual Conservative Political Action Conference convention in Dallas, CNN published a video with the following headline: "Election deniers take over CPAC after primary victories." In a recent appearance on CBS, Republican Rep. Paul Kinzinger, R-Ill., who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump and serves on the House Jan. 6 committee, said: "The only thing we need for democracy to survive is the knowledge that you can vote, that that vote counts, and we live with the winner and loser.

A USA Today fact check said, "There is little empirical evidence (opponent Georgia then-Secretary of State Brian) Kemp stole the election.
