TL;DR

Former President Donald Trump urged his supporters to "guard the vote" in Democratic-run cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit, and Atlanta during the 2024 election, citing unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in 2020. Trump's comments come as he continues to challenge the outcome of the previous election, despite multiple failed lawsuits. While he did not specify who he was asking to "go into" these cities, it aligns with the Republican National Committee's plan to recruit and train poll-watchers and volunteers. Critics express concern over Trump's rhetoric and its potential impact on trust in the electoral system.
