NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has spent months laying the groundwork to challenge the results of the 2024 election if he loses — just as he did four years ago.
At rally after rally, he urges his supporters to deliver a victory “too big to rig,” telling them the only way he can lose is if Democrats cheat. He has refused to say, repeatedly, whether he will accept the results regardless of the outcome. And he’s claimed cheating is already underway, citing debunked claims or outrageous theories with no basis in reality.
“The only thing that can stop us is the cheating. It’s the only thing that can stop us,” he said at an event in Arizona late Thursday night.
In 2020, Trump prematurely declared victory from the White House. He launched a legal and political effort to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden that culminated in the storming of the Capitol by his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021.
Democrats fear he may do the same thing this year before the race is called. He wouldn’t answer a question Friday in Dearborn, Michigan, about those Democratic concerns, instead pivoting to attacking Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump has made election lies central to his 2024 campaign, issuing fevered warnings about fraud while promising to take retribution against people he sees as standing in his way.
This year, he is backed by a sophisticated “election integrity” operation built by his campaign and the Republican National Committee that has filed more than 130 lawsuits already and signed up more than 230,000 volunteers being trained to deploy as poll watchers and poll workers across the country on Election Day.

quemala/tampon timmy have been spending months on how to steal the election. Just sayin’......
“NO WAY FORWARD!”. quemala/tampon timmy.
AP: ALWAYS PREVARICATING
Nothing like a fair and non partisan press, is there. They obviously don’t believein fair and honest press, so why would they believe in fair and honest elections?
He should challenge the results even if he wins. Pick a few nefarious states.
The media has a short-term goal and a long term goal —
Short-term) Tell everyone that the worst thing anyone could do is challenge the election results. If you lose, you lose. It’s insurrection if you don’t accept the results. The public must be convinced of this.
Long-Term) If Trump manages to pull this out and actually “win”, Democrats must be ready to challenge these fraudulent results. This will not stand. Congress and the Courts must get involved to make sure that this monster does not take office. The public must be prepared to fight for Harris if the results do not go her way.
“citing debunked claims or outrageous theories with no basis in reality.”
Uh, somebody should bone up on the news out of Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan and several other locations before stating that the claims are “debunked.”
Pretty sure there’s a boat load of cheating and attempted cheating going on . . .
Without independent verification of cast votes, elections can be manipulated by those in power.
The AP is lying about pres Trump in order to lay the groundwork to accuse him of chesting if he should win
Regurgitating DNC talking points as all partisan media shills do.
“...citing debunked claims or outrageous theories with no basis in reality.”

Similar to the “debunked” Russia collusion claims?
Similar to the “outrageous theories” that the Democrats were waging racketeering-style lawfare to remove Trump from the election?
Or perhaps the “debunked” beliefs that the MSM obscured Biden’s mental deterioration from the public?
Are those a few of the things that “aren’t based in reality”?
Apologies for the double post
And all being challenged and most being shut down by higher courts already. This isn’t 2020. Move forward. Get your family and friends and get them to the polls.
Are we going to believe the press or our lying eyes?
A kernel of truth in otherwise leftist propaganda.
Bingo! The Trump cult is actually entirely made up of NeverTrumpers inside and outside the Demagogic Party. The term Leftwing Cult is redundant.
