MyPillow CEO says Trump will remain president, as Kellyanne Conway admits Biden won

In an interview on Friday, MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell said President Donald Trump would continue to be president for “the next four years,” even as former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said that it would appear that President-elect Joe Biden will “prevail” in being elected the next president in January 2021.

“I want people to know that Donald Trump will be our president for the next four years,” Lindell said in an interview with Fox News Friday, adding that he was 100% sure. He made his comments while demonstrating with “March for Trump” protesters demanding that Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp help overturn the state’s election results in favor of Trump.

Lindell told Fox News he spoke to former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell earlier this week, saying, “So I know firsthand.” However, Powell was kicked out of Trump’s legal team after alleging that Republican candidates across the country conspired with Communist countries to fraudulently win their 2020 election races. She offered no evidence to substantiate these claims.

“I want people to know what happened because the mainstream media isn’t showing you this,” Lindell said at the protest. “All the corruption, by the time everything’s open here and they see it, even Democrats are going to say, ‘Wow, at least my party tried to steal it.'”

Lindell’s belief in the inevitability of Trump’s second term is at odds with that of Conway who said in an interview with Amanda Becker, political reporter for the non-partisan gender and politics news site The 19th, ” If you look at the vote totals and the constituency counts, it looks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will win. “

Conway said Trump “wants to exhaust all his legal avenues”, adding “of course it’s his right”. However, she also noted that on November 23, Trump authorized the head of the General Service Administration (GSA) to begin the formal transition process for Biden’s new administration.

GSA chief Emily Murphy had delayed the process for weeks after the election was called in favor of Biden, preventing Biden’s team from receiving federal money, workspace, and information related to his assumption of the presidency.

Either way, Trump continues to claim without evidence that widespread electoral fraud put the election in Biden’s favor, despite Biden holding a 306-232 Electoral College advantage over Trump and winning over 6. million votes more than the president nationwide.

Newsweek contacted Lindell for comment.
