“There are a lot of rumors about massive fraud in Philadelphia,” wrote the Republican candidate for the White House about this Democratic stronghold of Pennsylvania – undoubtedly the most contested state in his duel with Kamala Harris.
Philadelphia authorities strongly disputed the accusations.
“This assertion is completely unfounded,” said Seth Bluestein, a city official, on X. “This is a new example of disinformation,” he denounced, ensuring that the operations voting in Philadelphia took place “safely”.
Donald Trump said Tuesday morning that he would be ready to recognize his defeat to Kamala Harris if “the election is fair”, while raising the specter of possible electoral fraud.
Throughout the campaign, the Republican, who never admitted his defeat in 2020, had already laid the first stones of a new challenge, accusing the Democrats of “cheating like hell”.
The Democratic camp said Monday that they “expect” that the Republican will declare himself the winner prematurely, as he did in 2020, although he lost the election to Joe Biden.
