Trump Responds: ‘They Will Attempt to Steal the Election Once More’

Former President Trump made headlines once again.

Speaking with Tucker Carlson, Trump expressed his concerns about the integrity of future elections, citing his own experiences during the controversial aftermath of the 2020 election. His message was clear: “They’ll try to steal the election again.”

Trump’s conversation with Carlson took place during the Republican primary debate, which he chose not to participate in. Instead, he opted for an interview on the social media site X, attracting over 75 million views and showcasing his enduring popularity and influence.

The indictments are nothing but election interference.

We CANNOT let our institutions become political weapons.

If they’ll do it to Trump, they’ll do it to anyone.

Trump didn’t hold back when discussing the 2020 election.

Referring to his former vice president, Mike Pence, Trump said, “I think he got very bad advice.” He insisted that his efforts to contest the election results were legal, which appears to be validated by Congress’s subsequent reform of the electoral college.

Trump disagreed with the idea that Pence was simply “a human conveyor belt.” He pointed out that the voting act reform stripped the vice president of certain powers, a move he disagreed with.

This issue is at the center of the case against Trump and other administration officials in Georgia, led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The case alleges that Trump conspired to illegally overturn the 2020 election.

Despite the allegations, Trump maintained his innocence and dismissed the recent indictments, including two federal ones by the Department of Justice, as fraudulent. He stated, “It’s a lot easier because I’m so high in the polls.” Trump added, “The people see it’s a fraud.”

Trump also highlighted what he sees as a double standard in the political arena. He pointed out that figures like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, a frequent Democratic candidate in Georgia, have often challenged election results without facing the same legal scrutiny. Trump stated, “The same people that are saying, ‘He’s challenging an election!’ challenged my election.”

The fractured relationship between Trump and Pence, who is now running against him in the 2024 primary, was another topic of discussion. Their once strong partnership adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming election.

In conclusion, Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson offered insight into his perspective on the 2020 election and his predictions for future elections. His comments highlight the ongoing debates about election integrity and the role of the vice president in the electoral process. As the 2024 primary approaches, these issues will undoubtedly remain at the forefront of political discourse.
