Trump called on his supporters to "go into" Philadelphia, Detroit, and Atlanta - major cities in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia - to "guard the vote" in the 2024 election. He repeated unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in 2020 and said it was important to scrutinize the vote in battleground states likely to determine the 2024 outcome. Trump did not specify who he was asking to "go into" the cities. A campaign aide said he was referring to poll watchers and volunteers to ensure a secure election. Trump's comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious 2024 election. He continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost 2020 to Biden due to fraud.
