Rosie O'Donnell claimed in an interview Wednesday that President Donald Trump didn’t actually defeat former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
O'Donnell, a longtime critic of Trump, fled the country after he won the 2024 election and moved to Ireland. She said she was "astonished" that Trump occupies the White House before suggesting his victory wasn’t legitimate.
"I mean, part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon, who tried to start an insurrection, back in office. How did that happen? I don't think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do," O'Donnell told former CNN host Jim Acosta on his podcast.
"Interesting," Acosta, who was known for his antagonistic reporting at CNN when he was White House correspondent during the first Trump administration. Trump in turn often attacked Acosta and called him "fake news."
