Former President Donald Trump has claimed that there is “a lot of talk” about voter fraud in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city.
Trump has alleged that there have been numerous reports of voter fraud in Philadelphia, a city where he and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris have been running close in polls. In a post on his Truth Social account on Tuesday, Trump asserted that there is “a lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia,” without providing any specifics. He further warned, “Law enforcement coming.”
However, the Philadelphia Police Department told CNN that they are unaware of any voting irregularities in the state that would necessitate law enforcement intervention.
Earlier, Trump posted a video on his social media platforms stating that Republicans are performing “really well,” urging his supporters to stay in line and ensure they “get through and vote.”
“We’re gonna have a big victory tonight,” the former president predicted.
The Republican National Committee has also launched a campaign called ‘Protect The Vote,’ encouraging US citizens to “stay in line” regardless of any circumstances.
“If you’re there before the official close of polls, don’t let anyone intimidate you or force you out of line,” reads a message from the GOP. Voters have also been encouraged to report any issues at the polling station or suspected voter fraud to the campaign’s official website.
