Former president Donald Trump and his allies are rolling out a late-stage campaign strategy that borrows heavily from the subversive playbook he used to challenge his loss four years ago. This time, however, he is counting on reinforcements from outside groups built on the false notion of a stolen election.
Such a move ushered in his efforts to deny his defeat four years ago and helped set the stage for the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.People wait before entering a campaign rally for Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Trump no longer has control of the federal government — which he sought to use to press his 2020 case. In the states, there are fewer like-minded Republicans in key positions of power than there were four years ago. But some Trump-aligned officials have called for blocking certification at the local level, raising the possibility that the process could be stalled before that deadline. The law has no clear remedy for cases where it is missed.
When Steve Bannon, an influential right-wing media figure and close Trump adviser, was released from prison on Tuesday, he quickly told reporters that Trump should act preemptively on election night and simply claim victory. Trump did just that, unleashing a barrage of lawsuits challenging swing-state results, nearly all of which failed, as various judges found claims of fraud to be lacking.He and several allies then sought to convince Republican legislators in states that President Joe Biden had won that they had the power to submit their own slates of pro-Trump Electoral College delegates, effectively rejecting the popular vote. Several of those involved in that operation were later indicted.
Last week, Whatley posted online about the arrest of a woman at polling station in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, who had been urging voters to remain in line, calling the incident election interference. Local authorities later defended the arrest, saying the woman had been acting disruptively.
