Former President Donald Trump continues to falsely propagate claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him and is now focusing on pre-emptive claims that the 2024 election is being rigged against him. Despite citing examples of election interference activities, Trump’s campaign has provided no evidence of actual cheating in the upcoming election. He has accused various groups, including the Secret Service, Google, Democrats, and Hollywood elites, of interfering in the election without offering specific allegations of criminal conduct.
While Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims about election interference, there is no evidence to support his assertions that domestic actors are illegally altering the dynamics of the 2024 race. The U.S. intelligence community has warned of foreign interference in the election, particularly by Iran, China, and Russia. Trump has also made unfounded accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, as well as labeling various legal actions against him as election interference.
Despite Trump’s repeated claims of election fraud and rigging, multiple investigations have not found evidence of widespread voter fraud or election interference. Trump’s post-election moves, including legal challenges and attempts to challenge election results, have faced hurdles, including new legislation aimed at limiting objections to the certification process in Congress. Overall, Trump’s continued efforts to delegitimize the electoral process and spread false claims of election interference cast doubts on the integrity of the democratic system.
