President Donald Trump is describing the Los Angeles mayoral primary election as “crooked” and “rigged” after two Republican candidates failed to secure a spot in the general election.
The president also predicted “great trouble and consternation will follow” if Democrats win.
“Has anybody been watching the CROOKED Election going on in California,” Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social. “Two great Republican Candidates are being cheated, and so is America, which if the Dumocrats are able to fulfill their mission, great trouble and consternation will follow. Watch this ‘Election’ closely!!!”
Trump reiterated that sentiment Monday morning Monday morning when he reposted an item from X by Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-Ariz.).
“It’s clear, California is incapable of running free and fair elections consistent with our Constitution that guarantees a republican form of government for states. Federalize the election,” Hamadeh wrote.
Hamadeh reposted a Decision Desk HQ projection that had Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman securing the second runoff spot in the nonpartisan mayoral primary.
“No way this could have happened. Rigged Election!” Trump added on
