"I think it is a terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election. I think it is a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over because it can only lead to one thing," Trump said.

We are doing well

Regardless, he said that he was doing well in the Presidential polls. Talking about overtaking his electoral opened Joe Biden in swing states including Ohio, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia, Trump claimed that his rallies have warmed up.

"We are doing tremendous numbers. Florida is doing very well. Ohio, as you heard, is doing phenomenally well. I think we are ahead in Ohio from four years ago, and we won by eight. If you look at North Carolina, we are doing great. I think we are doing well all over," he asserted.
