Even before all votes were counted in Georgia’s Senate runoff election on Tuesday, the Trump campaign claims the competitions were rigged by the Democrats.
According to the New York Times, a text from the Trump campaign reads: “Is it true that voting machines used to stop working in Georgia today? Are Dems Trying to Steal That Choice? “

This is clearly an attempt by Trump World to absolve the outgoing president of any responsibility for potentially two Senate losses in Georgia.
Republicans are already starting to blame Trump

NBC News political reporter Sahil Kapur said he had received a text from a Republican strategist saying, “Thank you, Donald.”

Given that Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock is out to win his runoff race and Jon Ossoff is close to winning his race, it’s no surprise Republicans are already starting to point the fingers.
But after Donald Trump has spent the past two months claiming elections in the US that are no better than a third world country, nobody but himself is to blame.
