Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

    It’s funny to say that and you, of course, deserve credit.

    But this is too serious to ignore. The idea of him getting a second term will be the beginning of something truly awful.

    Everyone, please vote. The two party system sucks but it’s where we’re at right now. The US swinging wide right to embrace a grifter can NOT be the answer.
