While the DNC was taking place, people like Bill Clinton, Michelle and Barack Obama, as well as Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz urged people to get out and vote. Donald Trump had his first rally in a while after hiding out in his Florida palace.

His message was simple: “Our primary focus is not to get out and vote.”

Now this is a strange and troubling idea for a candidate for President of the United States.

Donald Trump stood in front of his supporters, now encased behind bulletproof glass, and said that he wasn’t worried about votes.

NBC reported:

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said his strategy for the fall is less geared toward turning out supporters to vote and more focused on ensuring Democrats “don’t cheat” in the general election. “Our primary focus is not to get out the vote, it is to make sure they don’t cheat,” Trump said in remarks at a campaign event in Asheboro, North Carolina, a state Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign views as competitive this year.”

It is certainly a different route to take. Most politicians want as many votes as possible.
