If Trump declares victory before votes are counted, it will fail, according to the Harris campaign.

• A senior official in Kamala Harris' presidential campaign expects Donald Trump to declare victory before Election Day votes are fully counted.
• The official predicted that any similar effort by Trump to claim victory over Harris before all ballots are counted will also fail, as the Republican nominee had previously attempted something similar and it was unsuccessful.
• For years, Trump has falsely asserted that he won the 2020 election against President Joe Biden.

A senior official in Kamala Harris' presidential campaign stated on Friday that they anticipate Donald Trump declaring victory before the complete count of votes on Election Day evening.

But that official told reporters, "It won't work."

"The official, speaking on condition of anonymity in a press call, said that "he did this before and it failed." According to NBC News, the official added that "if he does it again, it will fail.""

The official accused Trump of lying constantly and attempting to cast doubt on his impending loss to Harris, the Democratic nominee and current vice president, on Tuesday.

The campaign official stated that while they are focused on ensuring that their voters have the necessary information to vote safely and securely, they are also committed to protecting the vote and ensuring that it counts, regardless of the actions of Trump and his campaign.

A call was made after Trump made unfounded accusations of widespread "cheating" in voting in Pennsylvania, a crucial state in the election.

Trump urged law enforcement to act immediately and report cheating to authorities in a Truth Social post on Wednesday.

For four years, Trump has falsely stated that he, not President Biden, won the 2020 election.

In federal court in Washington, D.C., and state court in Atlanta, he is being prosecuted for crimes related to his efforts to challenge his defeat to Biden.
