Mr. Trump hinted that he would not accept the election results if he lost.

(Dan Tri) - Former US President Donald Trump said that he should have stayed in the White House even if he lost the 2020 election.

"We had the most secure border in the history of our country the day I left," former President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on November 3. "I shouldn't have left, I mean, honestly, we did a great job, we had a great record." The comments mirror what Trump told aides and allies after his 2020 election defeat, a loss he never acknowledged. Now, Trump is using the 2020 playbook with his baseless claim that the 2024 election is "being stolen." He has repeatedly accused Democrats of cheating in the election and a host of other allegations, all aimed at misleading his supporters into believing the election is illegitimate if he loses. This includes claiming that non-citizen voting is a widespread problem. He also complained that there was no verification of overseas or military ballots. He accused election officials of using early voting to commit fraud and that large numbers of mail-in ballots were illegal, even as he encouraged his supporters to use mail-in ballots. Most tellingly, he claimed that the only way Vice President Kamala Harris could win was through fraud. “If you’re just starting to pay attention to this, the claims you’re going to hear in 2024 about how the election system is unreliable are going to be extremely similar to what he and his supporters were saying in 2020,” said Ben Ginsberg, a Republican campaign lawyer who has served as general counsel to several previous Republican candidates. In 2020, Trump narrowly lost the race for the White House to Democrat Joe Biden. Two months later, he’s been trying to overturn the results. In a tight election this year, election officials are bracing for another round of misinformation about the results, especially if the election hinges on the outcome of hundreds of ballots in one or two states. Pennsylvania could be the deciding state this year and could potentially become the starting point for legal battles over election rules. At a Pennsylvania rally last week, Mr. Trump claimed the discovery of hundreds of suspected fraudulent voter registration applications in Lancaster was evidence of fraud.
