During his Michigan rally on Saturday, former President Donald Trump turned to a topic that's been occupying him since November 2020: that the presidential election had been 'stolen' from him.
— For the first seven minutes of his Michigan rally Saturday, former President Donald Trump stuck to two familiar issues Republicans are running on this November: inflation and the rising cost of living under President Biden, and immigration and the southern border.
WARREN, MI - OCTOBER 01: Former President Donald Trump speaks during a Save America rally on October 1, 2022 in Warren, Michigan.And then he urged the crowd crammed into the arena in Macomb County, where he won by 8 points in 2020, to turn out in November so that they can overtake Democrats. This is happening in all of the states that Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020: in Arizona, 11 out of their 13 candidates are considered"election deniers." In Wisconsin it's 5 out of 13 candidates, in Georgia 10 out of 19 candidates deny Mr. Biden won the election, and in Pennsylvania, it's 9 out of 20 who believe this is the case.
"I think that is so grossly irresponsible of an election official to say that. I've lived in Michigan my whole life, I've never seen anything like that ever," Karamo said. " that many secretaries of state and election officials are worried about"violence and disruption on Election Day… and in the days surrounding the election."of election officials in March found that 1 in 6 officials have"experienced threats.
The unfounded belief that the election was stolen —"that's why so many people are here now, and we expect to get [Trump] back. There's a lot of Christians like myself here, and we're praying that [Trump] gets back in here in 2024," Brown, the retired communications worker said as she waited in line for the rally. She said she'd like to hear GOP candidates say more about the 2020 election and"election integrity," too, a sentiment shared by other rallygoers.
