Washington: As the United States goes to presidential polls in a day, the chaotic pictures from the nation’s capital post the 2020 elections still loom. There is a shadow that a similar scenario might happen if Republican candidate Donald Trump loses the people’s mandate.
On Sunday, Trump questioned the counting process of the 2020 elections, speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania. He said that he shouldn’t have “left” the White House, which brings back the apprehensions that he might not accept the outcome this time, too, if he lost to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, PTI reported.
In 2020, Trump refused to concede the election and approached the court, filing a series of cases challenging the poll outcome, but in vain.
On the day, he criticized the Biden administration over its immigration policy. He said that the country’s borders were safe when he manned the White House.
The former president said, "We had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left. I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, because... we did so well.”
At the Sunday rally, Trump targeted his opponent, Kamala Harris and accused her party, the Democratic Party, of being a 'corrupt machine'.
"It's all corrupt. She is corrupt. She is a corrupt person. I am running against a totally corrupt person," he alleged. "I am really not running against her. I am running against a corrupt machine called the Democrat Party."
Pennsylvania, which is among the seven swing states, has 19 electoral college votes. The remaining swing states are North Carolina and Georgia, with 16 electoral colleges each, Michigan with 15, Arizona with 11, Wisconsin with ten and Nevada with six.
In the rally, Trump promised Pennsylvania “a new golden age” if he becomes president. He will “fix the misdeeds” of the Biden-Harris administration, he claimed.
