2024 Election Updates: Early Voting Available in All 50 States

Former President Donald Trump sat down with the Joe Rogan podcast for three hours on Friday evening for a freewheeling conversation on issues ranging from the economy to the environment to the stakes of the upcoming election, taking the opportunity to once again criticize the one of 2020 , partially blaming the justices for failing to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump became combative with Rogan when Rogan asked why Trump did not publish comprehensive evidence of the fraud he said occurred in 2020. Trump said he did, but falsely claimed he lost because judges “didn’t have what it took.”

“The jury doesn’t want to touch it. They would say, ‘You have no standing,'” Trump said. ‘They didn’t judge on the merits. They judged that the merits were never there. The judges didn’t have what it took to overturn an election.”

Trump again pushed for single-day voting and paper ballots, raising fears about voting machines as people go to the polls.

“Right now, we have the advanced machine that goes to heaven. It’s going back and forth all over the place, and they’re saying we need two weeks to find out who won the election,” Trump said. “Unless you have paper ballots, there can never be a fair election. That’s a big statement. We need to move to paper ballots.”

Trump also said that if Harris loses the election, it will be because Democrats do not hold a primary and choose Gov. Tim Walz as vice president.
