Overview
- On Monday CNN data analyst Harry Enten sharply criticized Republicans for continuing to embrace the claim that the 2020 election was stolen and called that belief “garbage.”
- Enten singled out Georgia Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins for repeating President Donald Trump’s 2020 fraud claims and said those comments mirror the missteps that hampered Herschel Walker in 2022.
- Enten cited polling showing about 63 percent of Republicans now say the 2020 election was stolen while roughly 64 percent of Americans say it was not, creating a clear voter split.
- He said Trump’s weak favorability in Georgia undercuts the idea that Trump can carry Collins to victory and that leaning on the conspiracy is a losing general‑election message.
- One outlet reported an FBI action at Fulton County elections offices related to ballots but the claim has limited corroboration in the coverage and should be treated as unconfirmed.
