Without evidence, President Trump falsely attacks voting integrity and alleges election interference as he trails Biden in electoral votes usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
President Donald Trump appeared to shrug off his Democratic challenger Joe Biden's growing lead in the presidential election and made baseless claims that the election was driven by fraud and corruption.
"If you count the legal votes I easily win. If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal the election from us," Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room, repeating a statement his campaign sent out earlier Thursday on his behalf.
There has been no evidence of voter fraud. Several states have experienced delays in counting a surge of mail-in ballots - legally cast - this year due to the pandemic.
