Trump Says Dr. Oz Must Claim Victory Now so David McCormick “Can’t Cheat’

As of now, Tuesday night was kind of a mixed bag for Donald Trump. Two of his high-profile candidates, Janice McGeachin and Madison Cawthorn lost their races. Mehmet Oz holds a small lead that could go away. And if Oz loses, the Republican primaries become humiliating for the former president.

Trump took to Truth Social to give some advice to the TV doctor. According to the 45th President, Oz must declare victory now so David McCormick can’t “cheat” with mail-in ballots.
Trump wrote this morning, “Dr. Oz should declare victory. It makes it much harder for them to cheat when the ballots that they just happened to find.”

The former President hasn’t seemed to learn from his mistakes. He tried to claim victory on election night, only to lose relatively soundly once all the ballots were counted.
Still, the GOP in the age of Trump is unlikely to ever admit that they lost fair and square. Expect every losing MAGA candidate to claim that they were somehow cheated.
