Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is gearing up for a potential scenario where former President Donald Trump declares victory before all votes are counted. A senior campaign official expressed confidence that Trump will make such a claim, citing his history of dishonesty and desire to cast doubt on election results.
The official emphasized that Trump's previous attempts to prematurely declare victory have been unsuccessful and reiterated the campaign's commitment to ensuring that every vote is counted. The Harris campaign has been proactive in assembling a legal team since 2020, with lawyers strategically placed in battleground states to protect voters' rights and be prepared to address any legal challenges.
Despite the Trump campaign's efforts to pursue litigation in battleground states, the Harris team remains steadfast in its readiness to respond to any legal actions. A second official criticized a recent case in Arizona filed by Trump ally Stephen Miller, labeling it as baseless and accusing the Arizona secretary of state of withholding voter information illegally.
As the election unfolds, the Harris campaign is focused on upholding the integrity of the electoral process and ensuring that all votes are properly counted. The team is prepared to navigate any legal challenges that may arise and is committed to holding the Trump campaign accountable for any attempts to undermine the election results.
