Nov 5, 2024, 11:34 PM

Former President Donald Trump has made a baseless claim of 'massive cheating' in Philadelphia during Election Day. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and other city officials have strongly refuted Trump's allegations, stating there is no factual basis or evidence to support such claims. The Philadelphia Police Department also confirmed they were unaware of any issues requiring a law enforcement response. Krasner challenged Trump to provide proof for his accusations, emphasizing that the only talk of cheating has come from Trump himself. GOP officials in Philadelphia have also pushed back against Trump's statements. Trump's claim was initially made on Truth Social, where he is a Republican presidential candidate.
