REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!” Fetterman countered Trump’s narrative, emphasizing that the 2020 election was secure and noting, “And now, there was voter fraud in Pennsylvania, and it was a handful of Republicans, and they had, they had their dead moms voting for Trump. And I’d like to remind everybody that they were all caught and they were prosecuted.” As polls indicate a narrow lead for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, Fetterman reminded the public of President Biden’s previous electoral success, stating, “I’d like to remind everybody that Biden wrecked his s— by 80,000 votes… but now we’re gonna have a new team leading America, and that’s gonna be Harris and Walz, but it is gonna be close.” Recent polling data from The New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College also reflected a tie between Trump and Harris, each receiving 48 percent support among likely voters.
