DA Larry Krasner pushes back on Donald Trump's latest claims of voter fraud

A day before former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to meet in Philadelphia for their first debate, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner responded to Trump’s latest false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Trump, who is facing criminal charges for efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, posted on X over the weekend that he would be watching the 2024 election results and voting process closely and pledged to prosecute “those people that cheated” if he wins the White House in November.

“I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump posted. “It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny.”

There is no evidence of widespread cheating or voter fraud in the 2020 election, including in Pennsylvania or Philadelphia, which Trump has targeted since he lost the state to President Joe Biden.
