Republican hopeful Donald Trump has reiterated his claims that he will denounce the upcoming November 5 election results as fraudulent if he does not emerge victorious. This stance mirrors his reaction to the 2020 defeat by Joe Biden.

His approach involves potential legal battles and a direct appeal to his supporters via social media and other platforms, inciting doubt about the election's integrity. Trump's allies are reportedly preparing for a similar post-election showdown, laying the groundwork for legal contestations in specific battleground states.

Despite the new constraints, the landscape remains tense. Critics warn that persistent allegations could lead to civil unrest akin to the January 6 Capitol riots. Trump's narrative continues to stoke fears of disrupted election processes, hinting at a tumultuous political environment in the weeks following the vote.
