Trump repeats claim that California election was rigged – US politics live

Donald Trump reiterated his claim that the California gubernatorial election was rigged, posting a screenshot on Truth Social after walking out of an NBC interview where he refused to provide evidence for his allegations. He is scheduled to attend a campaign rally in New Jersey and later a Knicks game in New York, which will have increased security due to a recent stabbing incident at Penn Station. Additionally, Trump stated that Iran's military has been "virtually decapitated" as the conflict with the US reaches its 100th day, having previously urged Iran and Israel to cease hostilities.

Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker on Meet the Press after a tense exchange in Wisconsin. The walkout occurred when Welker questioned Trump's repeated false claims about the 2020 presidential election being rigged and his allegations that the California gubernatorial race was also "rigged." Trump accused Welker and NBC of being "crooked" and "stupid" during the discussion. He also became agitated when asked about compensation for individuals charged in the January 6th insurrection, asserting without evidence that FBI agents invited rioters into the Capitol. Trump ultimately removed his microphone and declared the interview over, stating he had "had enough."
