Trump Again Claims Brazil's Election Was Rigged

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) —

Donald Trump said during a Texas rally that Brazil's elections appeared fraudulent, comparing them to alleged Democratic "cheating" in the U.S. He claimed Democrats are "the greatest election fraudsters in history" and that Brazil is "doing a good job" at it. Trump's remarks come amid an intense campaign schedule ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, where he holds near-daily rallies to support Republican candidates. His approval rating has dropped to 31%, the lowest of his presidency, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Trump has repeatedly made unsubstantiated claims about election fraud in both the U.S. and Brazil. He is not on the ballot in the midterms, but Republicans face difficult races in several states, with Trump focusing on defensive campaigns in traditionally conservative areas.
