Instead he claimed that Trump was suggesting that reporters were in \u201cgreat danger themselves, and should have had a glass protective shield, also. There can be no other interpretation of what was said. He was actually looking out for their welfare, far more than his own!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also revived falsehoods about elections and argued that he can only lose to Democrat Kamala Harris if he is cheated, even though polls suggest a very tight race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a crooked country,\u201d Trump railed to his crowd on a chilly airport tarmac, returning to the grievance that had defined the early days of his campaign. \u201cThey\u2019ll want to put you in jail because you want to make it straight. Think of it, think of it. They cheat in elections and you call them on it and they want to put you in jail.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump was indicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in both Washington and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his allies, notably former chief strategist Steve Bannon, have encouraged Trump to prematurely declare victory on Tuesday night after polls close even if the race is too early to call.

While it was unclear exactly what had set Trump off, his campaign had released a memo earlier in the day criticizing new polling from The New York Times again showing the race extremely close in the seven major swing states. <\/p>\n<p>Trump had spoken by phone before he took the stage with two reporters who had mentioned polling, including one who had asked him <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/trump-tells-abc-expects-winner-declared-election-night\/story?id=115438086\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if he thought there was any way he could lose<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has been frustrated that the campaign remains locked in a close fight to the finish. He thinks Harris is an unworthy opponent and he cannot understand why he isn\u2019t dominating, said one Republican familiar with the dynamics of the campaign who, like others, was granted anonymity to discuss it.<\/p>\n<p>Another Republican blamed last-minute anxiety &#8212; and Trump having to trust a system that he believes is rigged against him.<\/p>\n<p>Trump allies applauded his speech, saying that they were glad he was shining a light on concerns about fraud in the race\u2019s final stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Harris pushed back at Trump\u2019s characterizations of U.S. elections, telling reporters on Sunday that Trump\u2019s comments are \u201cmeant to distract from the fact that we have and support free and fair elections in our country.\u201d Those \u201cgood systems\u201d were in place in 2020, Harris said, and \u201che lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vice president said she trusts the upcoming vote tally and urged voters, \u201cin particular people who have not yet voted to not fall for this tactic, which I think includes suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote won\u2019t matter.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump, for his part, acknowledged that he was sidestepping his usual approach with his conspiratorial speech. He repeatedly talked about disregarding the advice of his aides, repeating their feedback in a mocking voice and insisting that he had to talk about election fraud despite their objections. <\/p>\n<p>In his next appearance a few hours later at an airport in Kinston, North Carolina, Trump returned to much of his usual script, alternating between prepared remarks and familiar stories. <\/p>\n<p>At one point, he said, \u201chopefully, we get rid of Mitch McConnell pretty soon,\u201d undercutting the Senate Republican leader who endorsed Trump earlier this year despite blaming him for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you believe he endorsed me?\u201d Trump added a minute later with a laugh. \u201cThat must have been a painful day in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was scheduled to take the stage a third time Sunday night in Macon, Georgia. One of his warm-up speakers was Herschel Walker, the unsuccessful 2022 Republican Georgia Senate candidate who faced a number of damaging allegations, including claims that he paid for abortions for two former girlfriends despite supporting a national ban on the procedure. <\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Cooper reported from Phoenix.
