Former President Donald Trump is focusing less on voter turnout and more on preventing what he believes to be potential cheating by Democrats in the upcoming general election. He stated that his main goal is to ensure that the opposition does not cheat, rather than actively increasing voter turnout among his supporters. Trump believes that he already has enough support to win and is more concerned about the integrity of the election process.
The former president has been laying the groundwork to dispute the results of the 2024 election if he loses, citing instances like Google rigging the election and New York courts interfering in the process. He has also continued to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen by Democrats.
Despite being asked about accepting the election results if he loses, Trump has consistently qualified his response, stating that he will accept the results only if the election is deemed to be free and fair. While downplaying the need to gain more votes, he has urged his supporters to do whatever it takes to ensure that they vote for him.
In response to Trump’s remarks, his campaign spokesperson emphasized their focus on ensuring the election is too big to rig and protecting voter integrity. The Harris campaign did not immediately comment on Trump’s statements. Overall, Trump’s strategy appears to hinge on his belief that Democrats will cheat in the election, and he is prepared to contest the results if necessary.
