Trump says focus is on ensuring Democrats 'don't cheat,' not voter turnout
Former President Trump said his campaign strategy is less geared toward turning out supporters to vote and more focused on ensuring Democrats “don’t cheat” in the general election.
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said his strategy for the fall is less geared toward turning out supporters to vote and more focused on ensuring Democrats “don’t cheat” in the general election.
"Our primary focus is not to get out the vote, it is to make sure they don’t cheat," Trump said in remarks at a campaign event in Asheboro, North Carolina, a state Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign views as competitive this year.
"We have all the votes we’ll need," Trump said, indicating he’s not concerned about boosting voter turnout in his base. "You can see it ... every house along the way has signs: Trump, Trump, Trump, Vance, Trump, Vance."
“We are going to fight like hell to win this election,” he added. “They are going to cheat like hell to win the election because they have no bounds.”
When reached for comment, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt defended the remarks.
