Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke on Tuesday about "rumors" that the vote in the city of Philadelphia was taking place with "massive fraud", for which he did not present evidence, and the authorities denied it.
"There are many rumors of a massive fraud in Philadelphia," Trump wrote about that stronghold of the ruling Democrats in Pennsylvania, where the outcome of his duel with US Vice President Kamala Harris, a candidate for the first US head of state, is undoubtedly the most uncertain.
Philadelphia authorities strongly disputed Trump's claim.
"That claim is completely baseless, it's another example of misinformation," said Seth Blustin, a city official, adding that the vote in Philadelphia was conducted "with complete security" of the procedure.
Donald Trump said on Tuesday morning that he would be ready to concede his defeat to Kamala Harris if "the elections are fair", while at the same time alluding to the possibility of election fraud.
During the entire campaign, Trump, who never admitted his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, already began preparing to challenge the results of this election as well, accusing the Democrats of "cheating like hell."
The Democratic camp said Monday that it "expects" Trump to declare himself the winner early, as he did in 2020, even though he lost the election to Joseph Biden.
Certain journalists were banned from entering Trump's campaign headquarters
At least six journalists have been denied credentials to cover Donald Trump's campaign headquarters in Florida because of their coverage of the Republican presidential candidate.
Voice of America has received confirmation that they are journalists from the Aksios, Politiko and Pak websites. In the case of Politika, three reporters and a photographer were initially approved to attend the event, but learned on Tuesday that their requests for accreditation had been denied.
A person familiar with the matter told VOA that the decision was related to Politico's coverage of a white nationalist who worked on the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania and was later fired.
Politika refused to comment on this case for Voice of America.
