Trump said: “If you count legitimate votes, I can win easily. If you count illegal votes, they (Democrats) may try to steal our election.” Trump continued: “They tried to steal the election, they Trying to rig the election, we cannot let this happen. They are clearly trying to commit fraud, there is no doubt about it.”
After Trump’s speech, Republican lawmakers commented on Trump’s preemptive victory.

Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska, said in a statement: “Americans vote in peaceful elections, and there will be no show until all the legal votes have been counted. Winner.” According to reports, Nebraska is a state Trump is very hopeful of winning.
Republican Senator Mitt Romney of Utah reiterated in a statement that the process of counting votes should be “long and frustrating for candidates (Trump).” He said: “I have confidence in democracy, in our Constitution, and in the American people.”
Will Hurd, a Texas congressman who served three consecutive terms, said: “A current president has disrupted our political process and questioned the legitimacy of countless Americans’ voices without evidence. It is dangerous and wrong, and it destroys the foundation upon which this country is built.”
