Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, made a statement that seemed to agree with the claim of ‘election fraud’. Lara Trump, who was elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee, pointed out Attorney General Merrick Garland’s comments in her appearance on Fox News on the 10th that she would challenge states that discriminatory restrict voting access.
“This is a huge problem,” Lara Trump said. “Our focus leading up to the election on November 5th is threefold: encouraging people to vote, protecting that vote, and raising donations,” she said. “The most important of these is protecting the vote,” he said. “It’s important that people who go to the polls feel that their vote is properly counted.
We absolutely cannot allow what happened in 2020 to happen again and call the election results into question. “This must not be allowed to happen again,” he emphasized.
Former President Trump and his associates widely spread election fraud conspiracy theories immediately after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, which led to the Capitol riot on January 6th. Former President Trump and his associates are currently on criminal trial on multiple charges, including overturning the results of the presidential election, in connection with the Capitol riot.
“We currently have 78 lawsuits pending in 23 states to prevent election fraud,” Lara Trump said. “If anyone is trying to cheat in the election, we will pursue you to the end and punish you.” I put it.
On the 8th, the Republican National Committee elected Michael Whatley, who had been supported by former President Trump, as its new chairman and Lara Trump as its new co-chairman. Some say that this marks the end of former President Trump’s control of the party. The position of Republican National Committee chairman plays an important role in the distribution of campaign funds ahead of the presidential election.
Lara Trump, who worked as a TV news program producer, married former President Trump’s second son, Eric, in 2014, and she has supported her father-in-law’s election since the 2016 presidential election. Ronna McDaniel, the niece of former President Trump and Senator Mitt Romney (2012 presidential candidate), the first female Republican National Committee chairperson in over 40 years (elected in 2017), has been under pressure from Trump to resign until 2025.
He resigned without completing his term.
