Former President Donald Trump took a defiant tone Sunday, telling supporters he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss and escalating his claims of voter fraud as the campaign enters its final stretch. Speaking in Pennsylvania, he suggested distrust in election outcomes, repeatedly stating he would only accept a result he deemed fair.
Trump’s remarks also included a contentious comment about reporters, saying he “didn’t mind” if they were shot at through protective glass surrounding him onstage. His campaign later insisted the comment was meant to “look out” for media welfare.
As polls tighten, Trump has increasingly leaned on baseless fraud claims, casting doubts on the election ahead of Tuesday’s vote.
