Bernie Sanders Warns Donald Trump Is Gearing Up To Deny 2024 Election Results

LOADING ERROR LOADING Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued a striking warning on Tuesday: by lying about the size of Kamala Harris’ campaign events, Donald Trump is gearing up to deny the 2024 election results. The Vermont senator weighed in after Trump falsely claimed over the weekend that Harris is using artificial intelligence to fake images of thousands of people at her campaign rallies, and that “nobody” showed up to one in Detroit. When he claims that ‘nobody’ showed up at a 10,000 person Harris-Walz rally in Michigan that was live-streamed and widely covered by the media, that it was all AI, and that Democrats cheat all of the time, there is a method to his madness,” Sanders said in a statement. “If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere are ‘fake’ and ‘fraudulent.’” Trump has reportedly been frustrated by the enthusiasm and media attention for Harris in recent weeks, complaining about having to face her in November instead of President Joe Biden. Trump’s allies have been urging him for weeks to stay focused on Harris’ record in Biden’s administration and the progressive stances she took during her 2020 Democratic presidential primary bid, to little avail.

This time around, the GOP is laying the groundwork to contest the November election based on unfounded fears of undocumented immigrants voting in federal elections ― something that’s already illegal.

Mike Lee (R-Utah), who participated in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, urged House Republicans this week not to agree to fund the government next month unless the chamber passes a bill against illegal voting which, according to election experts, is so exceedingly rare as to not be an issue. “It is the last chance for Democrats (and a few Republicans) to sabotage President Trump’s next term, fund Biden’s disastrous policies, and leave the door open to illegal voting,” Lee claimed on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
