Trump's Attempt to Influence Election Integrity

Donald Trump is actively sowing doubts about the integrity of the upcoming election, repeating unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud to justify his viewpoint that he can only lose due to unfair practices. This rhetoric echoes his behavior in the lead-up to the 2020 election, where he similarly suggested that any loss would be a result of fraud. Trump has also been encouraging his supporters to vote early, claiming this would ensure that results are 'too big to rig.' Such statements raise concerns that if he loses again, he may attempt to claim victory and challenge the election results, perpetuating a cycle of mistrust and potential unrest.
