“It’s shocking, but not surprising,” said Conway during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “The real question that arises here, and arises again and again, is how delusional is he? Is he delusional or is he – or is he just desperate, and I think it’s a little bit of both. “

In the call, whose audio was obtained by The Washington Post and published on Sunday, Trump is heard pressing Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, also a Republican, to “find” enough ballots to bring the state to his advantage.

“The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry. And there is nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you recalculated,” Trump told Raffensperger on the call. “All I want to do is this … I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”

Raffensperger told Trump on the call that the data he is citing, while alleging electoral fraud in places like Fulton County, is “wrong” and says he and other state election officials are confident that the dispute was conducted in a manner fair.

The news of the audio sparked a backlash among Trump’s critics, including some Republicans and Democrats, who allege that the president committed an criminal act that is grounds for impeachment.

Conway, a founder of the anti-Trump political action group The Lincoln Project and a regular detractor from the president, said on MSNBC that motivations outside of nullifying the election result may have led to Trump’s appeal to Raffensperger.

“He is absolutely desperate to avoid leaving office on January 20, and is delusional in the sense that he thinks that is the way to do it,” said Conway. “And the reason he is desperate, frankly, is because something more than that he has to leave the White House grounds happens on January 20. Something more important. He loses his immunity from criminal liability on January 20. “
