Trump ratchets up anti-immigrant rhetoric, says he will go to Springfield

The town of Springfield, Ohio, is on edge as Donald Trump plans a visit, despite backlash from both Democrats and Republicans. Trump continues to push false claims about immigrants and illegal voting, aiming to sow doubt on the upcoming elections. Despite little evidence of non-citizens voting, Trump is doubling down on his conspiracy theories. The town is already tense due to bomb threats and false rumors spread by Trump. Many experts believe that non-citizen voting is not a significant issue and does not impact election results. Trump’s tactics seem to be an attempt to delegitimize the 2024 elections, where he is expected to lose in terms of popular vote once again.
