Vor den Midterms: Trump verspricht Millionen für Hinweise auf Wahlbetrug
Immer wieder behauptet Präsident Trump, bei US-Wahlen würde im großen Stil betrogen. Nun lockt er Hinweisgeber mit einer Belohnung.
Vor den US-Midterms, Donald Trump has promised a one million dollar reward for anyone who provides information about election fraud, according to reports in his Truth Social platform. The offer applies to both the upcoming Midterms and the previous election. President Trump claims that Democrats and foreign powers are undermining US elections, but has not presented any evidence of widespread election fraud.
Despite this, Trump maintains that he narrowly won the 2020 presidential election against Joe Biden. The Midterms will see the House of Representatives and about one-third of the Senate seats up for re-election. The outcome of these elections will heavily impact the remainder of Trump's second term: if he loses the majority in either chamber, he will be unable to pass major legislation.
Trump has previously launched initiatives aimed at making it harder to prove US citizenship, but these efforts have failed in Congress. The Supreme Court also blocked an attempt to grant the US Postal Service extensive authority over mail-in ballots. Critics see these moves as attempts to deter eligible US citizens from voting.
