Concerns Mount Over Trump's Potential Early Victory Claim
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian US
Advisers have suggested that Donald Trump should declare victory prematurely on election night if he appears to be leading in key battleground states, though it remains uncertain if he will follow this advice. This strategy aims to set the stage for claims of a stolen election if he loses. Trump's team is reportedly resigned to the possibility of him making such a declaration, reflecting a break from traditional presidential norms. The Harris campaign is preparing for this potential move, recalling similar actions by Trump in the 2020 election.
