'The only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election,' Trump told Republicans.
President Donald Trump opened his bid for a second term after securing the Republican nomination Monday in typically combative fashion by claiming Democrats want to"steal" the election that polls currently show him losing.
"They are trying to steal the election," he told party delegates."The only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election." As a veteran of reality TV, Trump is convinced that the more he gets on stage the better for changing the narrative in his favor. Trump is expected to make more live television appearances on each of the four days of the convention ahead of his acceptance speech at the White House.
The Republican insists, however, that he can replicate his surprise 2016 win -- and hopes the convention will put the wind in his sails. In another move stretching etiquette, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will make a speech on his behalf while conducting an official trip to Israel.Biden is tapping into unhappiness with the president's handling of the pandemic, unrest over racial inequality and fear of longterm economic damage from the coronavirus shutdown.
