In the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump has continued to assert claims of election fraud, while his supporters are divided on how they would respond if he were to lose. Despite courts and audits disproving Trump’s allegations of a stolen election in 2020, he has urged his supporters to turn out in large numbers to prevent election rigging.
Some supporters, such as first-time voter Jordan Walton, are willing to accept a potential Trump loss, acknowledging that absentee voting may have impacted the previous election. Other voters, like Lauren Marougy, remain unsure about the legitimacy of Trump’s defeat in 2020, but are prepared to accept the outcome regardless.
While there is a level of distrust in the election among some supporters, particularly regarding absentee voting, many are committed to accepting the results and avoiding any form of protest or demonstration if Trump were to lose. Overall, voters are emphasizing the importance of a peaceful transition of power and a respect for the democratic process, regardless of the outcome.
