The Big Lie. That’s what some have taken to calling former President Donald Trump’s false assertions that the 2020 election was stolen and that there was widespread voter fraud. 

But if you thought that all the investigations, reporting, and debunking meant that Trump loyalists had moved on, you’d be sorely mistaken. Today on the pod, journalist Byard Duncan talks about his deep dive for Reveal into how the Big Lie is shaping Michigan's next election: the 2022 midterm.
