Washington:
In an apparent attack on popular Indian-American Republican politician Nikki Haley, Donald Trump Jr. has charged that the “2024 Republican Party hopefuls” are “on the sidelines” and do not speak out against “fraud” in the vote count. as his father claims. and the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, 74, is behind his Democratic rival Joe Biden, who is approaching the magic number of 270 electoral votes to win the race for the White House. The former US vice president has amassed 253 votes so far compared to 213 won by Trump, according to the latest US media projections. To win the elections, a candidate must obtain at least 270 votes in the electoral college of the 538 available.
The incumbent president has affirmed without presenting any evidence that there has been “fraud” in the vote count and will legally question the outcome of the elections.
“Suddenly, everything stopped. This is a fraud against the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were preparing to win this election. Frankly, we won this election … Our goal now is to ensure integrity, for the good of this nation … This is a great fraud in our nation. We want the law to be used properly. So we will go to the Supreme Court of the United States, “Donald Trump told his supporters. on Wednesday.
Responding to a tweet Thursday, Trump Jr. said: “This is an important point! Everyone should be looking at who is really fighting this blatant nonsense and who is sitting on the sidelines. Republicans have been weak for decades, which has allowed the left to do these things. Let’s end that trend once and for all. “
I was responding to a Twitter user who wrote: “Where is the supposed future of the Republican Party? Nikki Haley is doing what?”
In a series of tweets later, Trump Jr said: “The total inaction of virtually all ‘2024 GOP hopefuls’ is quite surprising. They have a perfect platform to show that they are willing and able to fight, but they will do it”. Instead, reach out to the media mafia. Don’t worry, @realDonaldTrump will fight and you can watch like always!
Former US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, 48, is considered a potential Republican candidate for the presidency in 2024.
She also has the distinction of being the first senior Indian-American cabinet official in any administration.
Nikki Haley, who had campaigned for Donald Trump during the recently concluded presidential election, later tweeted: “We all owe @realDonaldTrump for his leadership of conservative victories for the Senate, House and state legislatures.”
“He (President Trump) and the American people deserve transparency and fairness as the votes are counted. The law must be followed. We must maintain faith that the truth will prevail.”
