The extraction faithfully paraphrases the post, and whether Harris actually won is a separate question the sources do not need to settle here.

A played clip makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post.

What was said

What we found

Supports. Fox News reports that O'Donnell told Jim Acosta on his podcast that she believed Kamala Harris won the 2024 election, quoting "I think Kamala won. I do."[3]

Supports. WFMD reports that O'Donnell said on Jim Acosta's podcast, "I think Kamala won," and that she claimed Harris had actually won the election.[1]

Supports. MEAWW reports the same podcast quote, "I think Kamala won," and says she does not believe Trump defeated Harris.[2]

Context. Commentary coverage notes that O'Donnell offered no evidence for the claim, and NY Daily News says there is no substantiated evidence supporting her broader allegation that Trump rigged the election. This bears on whether her statement is true, not on whether she made it.[4][5]

Context. Coverage of the claim is from outlets that quote the podcast directly; none disputes that she made the statement. The post's paraphrase ("claims Kamala Harris won") matches the claim's "stated that" wording.[1][2][3]
