US President Donald Trump is projecting confidence and declaring at a North Carolina rally that “we’re going to win anyway,” despite investigations he says were launched as part of an attempted takedown.
Opening the first of five campaign rallies on the eve of Election Day, Trump openly wonders what the political landscape would have looked like “had it been legit.”
He is referring to the Special Counsel’s investigation into ties between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia and his impeachment by the Democratic-run House. Special counsel Robert Mueller found multiple links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, but ultimately did not establish that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to interfere in the election.
Trump says it is all “fake stuff.”
The US president is speaking in Fayetteville, North Carolina. His other stops today are in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
He is closing the night in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the same place he closed the 2016 run.
