Is it a fact that D Trump has said on several occasions that the 2024 election was « rigged » (his terminology)

Multiple reputable fact-checking sources confirm that Donald Trump has publicly stated that the 2024 election was 'rigged,' using that exact terminology.

While some confusion exists about whether certain quotes refer to the 2020 or 2024 elections, the consensus is that Trump has repeatedly claimed the 2024 election was rigged to his benefit, especially after his inauguration as the 47th President in January 2025.

These claims have been made in speeches, rallies, and news conferences, where Trump has said phrases like 'They rigged the election, and I became president.'

Fact-checkers clarify that although Trump’s claims about election rigging are frequent, they are not supported by credible evidence and are considered false or misleading by most independent analysts.

Importantly, Trump did not claim he personally rigged the election but rather alleged that others rigged it in his favor or against him in prior elections.

The terminology 'rigged' is consistent with Trump's rhetoric since before and after the 2024 election cycle, making it a repeated theme in his public statements.
