President Donald Trump’s campaign adviser Steve Cortes is continuing to highlight irregularities in the election results, saying that it’s extremely rare for a presidential candidate to win in Ohio, Florida, and Iowa and lose the overall race.
Trump won those three battleground states. Former President Richard Nixon, who lost during the 1960 election against former President John F. Kennedy, also won Florida, Ohio, and Iowa, and is the only other candidate to have experienced that in more than 150 years.
“Since before the Civil War, only once has a candidate swept Ohio, Iowa, & Florida and ‘lost’ the presidential race – Nixon in 1960. President Trump handily won this trifecta of key states on Nov 3rd. Unlike 1960…we will NOT allow the Dems’ theft to stand!” he wrote on Twitter. He went on to point out that some historians believe that Nixon actually won the 1960 election and was “cheated out of it” in Chicago.
Cortes flagged the scenario as an “utter improbability,” noting that Trump “handily” won the three states. Trump won by more than 3 percentage points in Florida, 8 percentage points in Ohio, and more than 8 percentage points in Iowa.

Where the hell is that Durham guy hiding ?
Lol states vote independent of each other. It is what it is.
5 to 7 states don't stop counting on election night, send people home then resume counting ballots all night-- all changing Trump leads to Biden by morning.
Lol yeah because they started counting mail in ballots after. In PA, for instance, they started counting mail in ballots after in person votes. This was a rule made by REPUBLICANS.
Also, remember in Iowa when Biden was leading on election night? It was a “blue mirage” because for that state, they counted mail in ballots FIRST. By morning, Trump came out on top.
Some basic critical thinking skills wouldn’t kill you.
