2024 election updates: Early voting is open in all 50 states

Former President Donald Trump sat down for the Joe Rogan podcast for three hours Friday night for a freewheeling conversation about issues ranging from the economy to the environment to the stakes of the upcoming election, taking the opportunity to reassess 2020, blaming in part on judges. for not overturning the 2020 election results.

Trump became combative with Rogan when Rogan asked him why Trump didn’t release comprehensive evidence of the fraud he says took place in 2020. Trump said he did, but falsely claimed he lost because the judges “didn’t have what it takes”.

“The judges don’t want to touch him. They would say you’re not right,” Trump said. “They did not pronounce on the merits. They decided the merits never got there. The judges did not have what it took to deliver the election.”

Trump once again pushed for one-day voting and paper ballots, spreading fears about voting machines as people head to the polls.

“Right now, we have the sophisticated car going up to heaven. It’s happening all over the place, down and around, and they say we’re going to need two weeks to figure out who the hell won the election,” Trump said. “If you don’t have ballots, there can never be an election honest. That’s a big statement. We should go to paper ballots.”

Trump also said that if Harris loses the election it will be because of Democrats who did not hold primaries and chose Gov. Tim Walz as his vice president.
