Harris team and some Trump allies anticipate he will declare a premature election win
NBC News ^ | 10.23.2024 | Matt Dixon

Vice President Kamala Harris, her campaign team and some of Donald Trump’s own allies say they expect the former president to quickly declare victory on election night — even if the outcome is not yet settled in key swing states.

Between the time it takes to process mail ballots and deal with provisional ballots in some battleground states, votes will not be fully tabulated on election night. Projections of who won a close presidential race might not come for days, similar to the 2020 election.

NBC News spoke to four Trump allies, all of whom speculated that the former president may be prepared to pull a repeat of 2020 and quickly declare he is the victor on election night when that is not yet certain. The sources all noted they did not have direct knowledge that this was a formal Trump campaign plan.

Others noted that this November could be different because he is surrounded by a new slate of top aides who wouldn't push him to make such a declaration.

Seven Harris aides — and the vice president herself — said they are making preparations if Trump does indeed prematurely say he won or if he legally challenges the results if he loses.

Nothing about Harris prematurely declaring victory. Because no one thinks she will win.

“ Projections of who won a close presidential race might not come for days, similar to the 2020 election.”

Well, that’s a damned lie - the entire media and Dem Party (but I repeat myself) were proclaiming a Biden victory fairly early on that evening. They didn’t wait, they then controlled the narrative, and Trump’s campaign simply cannot allow that to happen again.

Most of Harris’s supporters are already declaring Trump the winner... So why should he not declare himself as the winner?

If it’s anything like 2020, when they’re actually counting ballots, he will be leading. When the trend is clear, they’ll stop the count and secure the facilities, then begin counting the fraudulent ballots. Tons of them. Then Trump’s prediction based on the initial count will be proven wrong. Trump will allege fraud and the rest, as they say, is history.

Start worrying when they say they are going to quit counting for the night and pick up where they left off in the morning.

Trump is going to pull the platinum-level troll on them when with 98% reporting, and he leads in Pennsylvania by a full 2% points. he begins announcing his victory in the election, and folk like Joe S, and Mika will be screaming and yelling at the camera.

Not if polls are still open. Why would he depress his own turnout?

Kommie’s puppet masters want that to happen. If it does happen they’ll use it as evidence in the dozens and dozens of state and Federal lawsuits they’ll surely be filing in the days after the election.

Again... and I hate to sound like a Dan Bongino lecturer...

but document “everything” during this election. Should it turn into yet another fiasco orchestrated by the enemy within Democrat leftists... any and all documention may come in handy. We do have ‘standing’ and we must be pro-active this time by documenting and recording what’s happening. JS...
