Speaking at a Florida event hosted by Turning Point Action, Donald Trump made a bold claim to his Christian supporters.
Trump suggested that voters no longer need to vote after four more years under his administration. “In four years, you won’t have to vote again; we’ll have it fixed so good you won’t have to vote,” Trump told the crowd.
The implications of his statement remain unclear, especially given his history with the 2020 Capitol riots and allegations of attempting to overturn his 2022 election loss.
Trump also remarked about becoming a “dictator for a day” to shut the southern border, which he later described as a jest.
These statements have sparked reactions, with Kamala Harris’ campaign spokesperson, Jason Singer, calling Trump’s speech “bizarre” and “backward-looking.” This comes as the presidential race sees new dynamics with Kamala Harris replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, significantly shifting poll standings.
