CNN

Donald Trump, who said in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he regrets leaving the White House in 2021, is ending the 2024 campaign the way he began it – dishing out a stew of violent, disparaging rhetoric and repeated warnings that he will not accept defeat if it comes. At a rally in the must-win battleground state, the former president told supporters that he “shouldn’t have left” office after losing the 2020 election, described Democrats as “demonic” and complained about a new poll that no longer shows him leading in Iowa, which he twice carried. Trump spent much of his speech ranting about alleged election interference this year and lamenting his departure from office after losing to Joe Biden four years ago. The US had the “safest border in the history of our country” on the day he left office, Trump claimed. “I shouldn’t have left, I mean, honestly,” he went on, harkening back to the aftermath of the last election. Acknowledging he’d gone off-script, Trump – in a county he won by more than 15 points in 2020 – claimed again, with no evidence, that this vote was fixed against him. “Isn’t this better than my speech?” Trump said. “Because honestly, somebody’s got to talk about it.”
