With midterms a week away, Trump offers a million dollars for fraud tips
The president is contesting results that do not yet exist, and former FBI director Comey has been indicted again.
With the midterms on 3 November, Donald Trump has promised a million dollars for information leading to a conviction for election fraud, Het Nieuwsblad's US liveblog reports. Former FBI director James Comey has been indicted again.
De Standaard writes that Trump no longer even waits for results before challenging them: his camp is already disputing a possible Democratic win in Alaska and threatening election officials in California. VRT NWS reported last week on the lawsuit aimed at blocking a result in Alaska if the Republican loses.
De Tijd takes stock of the economic record Trump brings to the polls: a historically unpopular president steering between expensive diesel and an AI boom. De Standaard concludes that the rich are winning under Trumponomics, while the average American is losing purchasing power.
