Seth Meyers addressed Donald Trump’s repeated claimsโฃ of a stolen 2020 election during his “Late Night” broadcast on November 6, โค2023, asserting he has come toโ terms with the outcome. Meyers characterized Trump’s continued insistence on a “blowout” victory as impacting those closest to him.
The comedian’s โขcommentary arrives as Trump continues to propagate false โnarratives about the 2020 presidential election, even while activelyโ campaigning for a 2024 run. Theseโฃ ongoing claims have fueled distrust inโ democratic processes and contributed to political polarization. Meyers’โ acceptance โof the election results, framed as a personal realization, underscoresโ the broaderโ societal need to move past unsubstantiated allegations and focusโข on the โขfuture of American democracy.
“It’s โreal, andโ this is something I accept,” Meyers stated, referencing โhis evolving outlook on the election’s outcome. He suggested that Trump’s relentless focus on theโฃ past is now affecting his โinner circle, implying a growing awareness within theโ former president’s team of the futility of continuing to dispute โคthe results.
Meyers illustrated his point โขwith a visualโฃ aid – an image from NBC news depicting Trump speaking at โa rally. The โsegment highlighted the dissonance between Trump’s public pronouncements and the documented facts of the โฃelection.
