Trump tells supporters they will not have to vote ‘any more’ if he wins upcoming presidential election.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is set to hold a rally in Minnesota amid a campaign blitz in the wake of President Joe Biden’s exit from the race and the emergence of the Democrat’s heir apparent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The event in St Cloud on Saturday comes as the former president crisscrosses the country to rally support in the run-up to the November 5 election, with polls showing him neck-and-neck with Harris.
On Friday, Trump raised eyebrows during a Florida event with the conservative Christian organisation Turning Point Action, telling those gathered they would not have to vote “any more” if they elect him in the November 5 poll.
“You won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians,” said Trump, who led a campaign to overturn the 2020 election results and has been accused by Democratic opponents of being a threat to democracy.
On Saturday, Trump also said he would flout Secret Service advice to only hold indoor campaign events following an attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. He has also promised to return to Butler to hold a “big and beautiful” rally.
