Donald Trump claims he’ll win ‘third’ election during rally ahead of US midterms
- The gathering outside Cleveland was Trump’s first public event to back candidates he favours for the 2022 midterms
- He is aiming to unseat the 10 Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach him for his role in inciting the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol
The gathering outside Cleveland was Trump’s first public event to back candidates he favours for the 2022 midterms and work to unseat the 10 Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach him for his role in inciting the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
“We won the election twice, and it’s possible we’ll have to win it a third time,” Trump said.
The crowed stood and chanted, “Trump won. Trump won.”
Amid a litany of false claims about election fraud, most of which were thrown out of numerous courts, Trump said he was “ashamed of the Supreme Court”, to which he nominated three of its nine justices.
The Trump events, including a town hall on the Texas-Mexico border next week and an appearance at a Florida Republican Party Independence Day weekend event, are also an opportunity for him to collect money for future political or legal needs and to raise his profile while he is banned from major social media platforms.
