President Trump’s AI-powered website America.gov confirms that he lost the 2020 presidential election to former President Biden, contrary to the 47th president’s false claim that he won.
The website’s homepage features a search bar allowing users to ask questions and provides answers from official government websites. Answers cite links to the original sources.
When asked about who won the 2020 presidential election, America.gov replies, “Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. According to the National Archives, he received 306 electoral votes to Donald J. Trump’s 232. A majority of 270 was needed.”
The response then cites the Electoral College results from the National Archives’ website and the Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) official results from the 2020 election.
Similar questions result in similarly worded answers, again citing the National Archives and the FEC.
A White House official told The Hill that the website will be updated with more resources and “the most accurate information from the federal government.”
“The President and Administration have been clear about issues surrounding the 2020 election, issues that have been documented by John Solomon and the White House Government Transparency Task Force,” the official said, referring to the task force’s chairman and former opinion writer at The Hill.
The Associated Press noted that the website began modifying answers by refusing to answer questions about the 2020 election, Trump’s name in the Department of Justice’s files on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and climate change. The AI refused to answer questions and said it does not answer “political inquiries.”
However, the website provided thorough answers with links to official sites when asked similar questions by The Hill.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), a longtime Trump critic and the lead impeachment manager in the president’s first impeachment trial in January 2020, also asked the website’s search bar who won in 2020.
“Finally, a straight answer from someone in the Trump administration,” he wrote on the social platform X , attaching a screenshot stating Biden won in 2020.
Trump launched the website Tuesday and touted it as the “ultimate product.” The website was born from an executive order Trump signed in August 2025 to “make the public experience with government more useful, effective and respectful of their time,” according to the website’s “about” page.
“Instead of forcing citizens to search through the endless maze of tens of thousands of terrible government websites and rules, and more than 10,000 forms … you’ll now have one front door for every single question,” Trump said at an event at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, noting that the website cannot be hacked “in theory.”
A description on the website states that users will be able to complete applications, forms and renewals, such as applying for a passport or enrolling in Medicare, in early 2027.
