Donald Trump claims right to third term due to 2020 election fraud
Donald Trump afirmó que tiene derecho a presentarse de nuevo a las elecciones presidenciales porque le hicieron trampa en los comicios de 2020 e insistió en que ha ganado tres veces la Presidencia, durante un mitin en Iowa citado por BioBioChile.
Trump Claims 2020 Election Was Illegitimate
Trump told supporters in Iowa that the 2020 election outcome against Democratic victor Joe Biden was illegitimate. The remarks arrived as the former president has repeatedly joked about seeking a third mandate, despite the 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution barring anyone from election to the presidency more than twice. Trump won the White House in 2016 and 2024, but lost the 2020 race to Biden.
Since his defeat in 2020, Trump has maintained that widespread fraud altered the result, though subsequent judicial challenges failed to uncover irregularities sufficient to overturn the tally. In July, Trump pointed to declassified documents during a televised speech to argue that the electoral system suffered from foreign interference and vulnerabilities. Media reviews, including an analysis by FactCheck.org, concluded those documents failed to supply evidence of widespread fraud or vote manipulation.
Campaign Schedule Preceding the November Midterms
The rallies in Iowa and North Carolina form part of an accelerated campaign schedule ahead of the November 3 legislative elections. Republicans aim to protect their congressional majority in those upcoming contests. Following his stops in the Midwest and South, Trump planned further appearances across Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Texas to rally conservative voters and support congressional candidates aligned with his party.
