Just over 48 hours before election day, former President Donald Trump said he should not have left the White House after losing the 2020 election and did not forget to mock the American media.
"When I left, we had the most secure border in the history of the United States," Donald Trump said at a rally in the town of Lititz in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on November 3 (local time). "Frankly, I shouldn't have left, we did a great job, we had a...", Trump said and suddenly stopped. This statement is said to be similar to what the former president told his aides and allies after his "defeat" in 2020, a defeat he never admitted. Also revolving around the topic of the election four years ago, Mr. Trump repeated conspiracy theories about hacked voting machines and fraud in Pennsylvania. These baseless rumors have all been previously dismissed, according to
the Guardian . According to the news agency, Mr. Trump's aides are optimistic about the former president's chances of returning to the White House, although they admit that they do not know what the results will be in "must-win" states like Pennsylvania. Part of this confidence comes from internal polls showing Mr Trump could win five of the seven battleground states.

While complaining about the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Trump returned to a habit from his time in office: criticizing the media. "In order to shoot me, you have to shoot through the fake news people first, and I don't mind that, I don't mind," Mr. Trump said from behind bulletproof glass on the podium. Mr. Trump also took the time to criticize a series of recent polls, especially Selzer's poll in Iowa. Despite Iowa being considered a red state, meaning it tends to favor Republicans, the latest Selzer poll shows Kamala Harris leading Mr. Trump in the state by 47 to 44 percentage points, respectively. "It's called a cover-up. They covered it up. It should be illegal," Mr. Trump said.
