Summary

  • Trump said Democrats were trying to "steal" California's gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries, citing delayed vote counting and a large volume of mail-in ballots.
  • Two Truth Social posts offered no evidence for the claims, and his assertion that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles was investigating the vote remained unsubstantiated.
  • The accusations focused on tallying delays in races Trump said involved two Republican candidates, with results he suggested could take weeks to finalize.
  • The latest comments extend Trump's long-running attacks on mail voting and slow ballot counts, this time aimed at high-profile California primary contests.
