Trump is increasingly sowing doubts about the eventual election results
As Election Day approaches, former President Donald Trump has increasingly been warning that if he loses, it will be because of cheating.
As Election Day approaches, former President Donald Trump has increasingly been warning that if he loses, it will be because of cheating.
“They’re going to cheat. They cheat. That’s all they want to do is cheat,” Trump said of Democrats during a rally this month in Juneau, Wisconsin. “It’s the only way they’re going to win. And we can’t let that happen, and we can’t let it happen again. We’re going to have no country.”
He followed up at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, last week by looking out into the crowd at Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley and asking, “They’re trying, but are they — they’re not going to get away with it, right?”
And at a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in September, Trump asserted he would win despite cheating and then prosecute those involved in the alleged voter fraud.
“When we win, we’re going to prosecute people that cheat on this election. And if we can, we’ll go back to the last one, too, if we’re allowed,” Trump said, referring to the 2020 election. “We’re going to prosecute people, so at least they know that’s going to happen.”
