Trump: We want election results tonight

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again set false expectations on the vote count for the United States presidential election, insisting on a result on election night.

“We want the answer tonight,” 78-year-old Trump said at his final rally in Grand Rapids in the highly contested swing state of Michigan on Monday night.

Trump had already stirred up sentiment in previous days with unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud.

The former president is running against Democrat Kamala Harris, and it is shaping up to be a close race.

It is considered unlikely that the election result will be determined within a few hours after the polling stations close on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Postal votes, in particular, delay the counting process in some states, dpa reported.

Following the 2020 presidential election, Trump declared himself the winner on election night and called for a stop to the vote count when he was temporarily ahead of his then-challenger Joe Biden.

He has refused to acknowledge his election defeat in 2020 to Biden to this day. There are fears that Trump might repeat this strategy.
