A Harris campaign official has said they “fully expect” former President Donald Trump to declare victory before all votes have been counted.
“It won’t work,” the official said during a press call.
“He did this before. It failed,” they added. “If he does it again, it will fail.”
With four days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Harris and Trump are making their final pitches, spending Friday hosting competing rallies in Wisconsin where they will attempt to appeal to “blue wall” voters.
Having already addressed two gatherings of his supporters on Thursday, the former president ended his day in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson on stage in Glendale, Arizona, at which he shockingly fantasized about former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney being shot at.
Cheney has since hit back at Trump, calling him “a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”
Vice President Harris closed out Thursday with a rally in Las Vegas in which singer and actor Jennifer Lopez emotionally endorsed her.

Trump campaign files FEC complaint against Harris campaign and The Washington Post
The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing the Harris campaign and The Washington Post of making “in-kind contributions” by paying platforms to boost articles that portray the former president in a negative light.
“The Post’s own articles support a reasonable inference that the Harris team provided information about the content of communications that is material to The Washington Post’s communications, providing reason to believe the conduct prong is satisfied,” an attorney for the Trump campaign wrote in a letter to the FEC. “Thus, there is reason to believe The Washington Post has made coordinated communications, which constitute illegal corporate in-kind contributions to Harris for President, and that Harris for President has accepted such contributions.”

Trump’s record of leaking intelligence and doubts over his new team have allies worried, experts say
While a Kamala Harris presidency is expected to fit into a more predictable pattern of intelligence-handling, security experts say some US allies have more “anxiety” about the alternative: Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
The Independent spoke to experts in intelligence, national security, and foreign policy from the UK, Australia, and Canada on the implications of a second Trump term. They all agreed the stakes couldn’t be higher — and suggested the Republican candidate’s track record when it comes to leaking secret intelligence is one of their causes for concern.
