Donald Trump mistakenly told his supporters to vote on Jan. 5, two months after the November election.
“Our poll numbers have gone through the roof with Black and Hispanic– have gone through the roof, told his supporters at an event in Pennsylvania on Monday, according to a clip shared by Mediaite.
Trump then encourage his supporters to show up the polls on January 5, two months after the November election now just 22 days away.
“So we’re gonna take care of it, you and me,” he said. “I’ll tell you, if everything works out and everybody gets out on January 5th, or before. You know, it used to be, you’d have a date. Today, you can vote two months before, probably three months after.”
He continued: “They don’t know what the hell they’re doing. But we’re gonna straighten it all out. We’re gonna straighten that out, too. We’re gonna straighten out our election process, too. That’s gotta be important also.”
Trump has repeatedly spread conspiracy theories about early and mail-in voting especially after he lost the 2020 presidential election.
Trump argued that the process was rife with fraud, but now he appears to have change his tune and is actively encouraging his supporters to vote early and by mail in what is expected to be a close election.
