Trump Repeats Unfounded Claims of US Election Corruption
US President Donald Trump has told crowds in Georgia, without evidence, he has “never lost an election” and that he’d be a “very gracious loser”, in his first political rally since losing the presidential election.
Amid chants of “stop the steal”, “four more years” and “we love you” from maskless supporters in the town of Valdosta, Trump began his speech repeating falsehoods about voter fraud.
“You know we won Georgia, just so you understand,” Mr Trump told rally-goers.
“Let them steal Georgia again, you’ll never be able to look yourself in the mirror.”
Trump has refused to concede his defeat to president-elect Joe Biden, and has instead repeatedly and without evidence asserted widespread fraud.
But his claims have been rejected by state and federal officials across the country, and his campaign’s numerous legal challenges have almost all failed.
Trump said at the rally his challenge to the election result was headed to the US Supreme Court “very shortly,” without elaborating.
Legal experts do not see a path to the nation’s highest court, however.
Later in the speech, Trump again accused the Democrats of “stealing” the election, and and warned crowds of the risks of a purported “radical left agenda that hates America” if Georgians didn’t vote for Republican Senate candidates.
