Trump Prepares to Challenge 2024 Election Results

Former President Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to challenge the results of the 2024 election, insisting that he can only lose due to Democratic cheating. He has repeatedly refused to commit to accepting the election outcome, echoing his tactics from 2020 when he claimed victory prematurely and incited the Capitol insurrection. Trump's campaign includes a robust 'election integrity' operation backed by the Republican National Committee, which has filed over 130 lawsuits and trained more than 230,000 volunteers. He has made baseless claims about illegal voting by migrants and criticized efforts to secure overseas votes, suggesting they could dilute military votes. Democrats are concerned that Trump's rhetoric could incite unrest similar to that seen in 2021. His comments during rallies continue to foster a narrative of widespread fraud without substantiated evidence.
