"Trump is laying the groundwork for a repeat of the 2020 post-election debacle.

He has managed to get a swath of the country to believe that Biden can’t be reelected without cheating. It follows, at least in the minds of Trump and his supporters, that if he doesn’t win in November, the election would have been unfair and its result — Biden’s reelection — illegitimate."

Text from article: Trump’s campaign of pervasive lying succeeded in eroding public confidence in an election in which there was no evidence of significant fraud. Now Trump has embarked on a no-holds-barred attempt to regain the White House — a post he desperately needs to quash federal criminal charges against him, both in the election conspiracy case and in a second prosecution related to his handling of classified information. But he’s back on the campaign trail backed by nearly 70 percent of Republicans who are convinced Biden should not have entered the White House in the first place. Would that were the end of it. [Highlighted] Trump is laying the groundwork for a repeat of the 2020 post-election debacle. [End highlight] He has managed to get a swath of the country to believe that Biden can’t be reelected without cheating. It follows, at least in the minds of Trump and his supporters, that if he doesn’t win in November, the election would have been unfair and its result — Biden’s reelection — illegitimate.
