The Facts
The presidential campaign of Democratic US Vice Pres. Kamala Harris has said that it's preparing for the possibility that former Pres. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, will declare victory prematurely or challenge the results if he loses.
Although some Trump advisors who spoke to NBC News agreed there's a chance their candidate will repeat his 2020 actions, others disagreed, with one former advisor saying senior campaign leadership won't encourage it.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Americans should be worried that Trump and his allies are pushing the same election denial scheme they pushed in 2020. Considering the mayhem leading up to and during Jan. 6, 2021, not to mention the congresspeople who wouldn't vote to certify the results, it's important for Americans not to be distracted by Trump's misinformation.
Republican narrative
Democrats are so worried about losing that they're launching a full-court smear campaign against Trump. Since early data shows Harris on the path to defeat, it makes sense she'd already be accusing Trump of trying to steal the election. Americans should keep their minds clear of the Democrats' bad-faith rhetoric.
