donald trump It has not been long in coming and has already tried to sow the first doubt before the electoral count. The Republican candidate has published a message to denounce that in Philadelphia Rumors circulated about alleged electoral fraud. But three commissioners have come out to give a press conference to deny this statement and have alleged that the votes are being carried out with total “transparency.”
«There are a lot of comments about massive cheating in Philadelphia. “The police are coming,” Trump said on his Truth Social social network profile. A city official quickly denied the claim, calling it “another example of misinformation,” while Philadelphia police and the district attorney’s office also rejected the baseless allegation. “If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild accusations, we want it now,” he added.
Trump did not provide any evidence in the middle of voting in a tense election due to the possible tie between Trump and Kamala Harris. “There is absolutely no truth to this accusation”Said City Commissioner Seth Bluestein, a Republican: “Voting in Philadelphia has been safe.”
trump rejected his defeat in the 2020 elections in front of Joe Biden. A denial that culminated in supporters of the former reality star violently attacking the US Capitol in an attempt to block the certification of the vote. Trump is expected to reject the result if he loses again this year raising the specter of chaos and violence in a tense and deeply polarized United States.
The Republican has already begun to raise doubts about the voting integrity in Pennsylvania, a battleground state that is a key prize in the battle for the White House. The Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, rejected Trump’s accusations last week in a CNN interview, pointing out that as the state’s attorney general Shapiro defeated 43 challenges to the 2020 vote count by the former president and his allies. Asked Tuesday whether he would accept defeat in the 2024 election, Trump offered a nuanced answer. «If I lose an election, if they are a fair election, I would be the first to admit it. So far I think it has been fair,” he said.
