Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians at a conservative event in West Palm Beach, Florida, that if they vote for him in November, they won’t have to vote again in four years, implying he would “fix” things, Reuters reports.
His remarks, given his history of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss, have drawn criticism from his Democratic opponents, who accuse him of threatening democracy. Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung did not clarify the specific remarks, but suggested that Trump meant he would unite the country. Trump’s previous statements about potentially acting as a dictator “on day one” if re-elected, have stirred discussions about his intentions and remarks on potential dictatorship, which he has previously called a joke.
The upcoming election is expected to be closely contested after President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election, with recent polls showing a tight race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
