President Donald Trump accuses Democrats in California of trying to “steal” the state’s gubernatorial primary and the Los Angeles mayoral primary, making the allegations as vote counts remain pending. Multiple outlets report that Trump comments—made as results trickle in more slowly than some expected—focus on late-arriving mail ballots and delays in confirming candidates. ABC News and The Guardian both describe the claims as lacking evidence. The Washington Times and New York Post report that Trump says the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles will investigate issues including the surge of late mail-in ballots and the pace of counting. The Daily Mail similarly notes Trump’s allegation of “big cheating” tied to the delayed confirmation of nominees. The Guardian also reports election observers expressing concern that unfounded statements could escalate misinformation while counting is ongoing. Together, the coverage shows Trump pressing a law-enforcement response in response to California’s continuing ballot-counting process, while mainstream reporting characterizes his underlying claims as unproven.
