Trump's bold strategy to challenge election outcome revealed
The Republican candidate has begun implementing a plan to challenge the election results. Therefore, even if Kamala Harris were to win the vote on November 5, Donald Trump still plans to claim victory. His plan is risky, but legally feasible.

"Cheating already started in Lancaster," said the Republican candidate recently at a rally in Pennsylvania. According to Donald Trump, immigrants who do not have American citizenship are already participating in the mail-in voting. He also claims that votes cast for him are being destroyed, and, as he asserts, this will only worsen on election day.
This is not the end. Trump's backup plan for victory has several stages, and this is just the first. The Republican candidate intends to fight for the White House until the last moment, even if his opponent, Kamala Harris, wins the election on November 5.
"A little secret"
At one of the rallies, he admitted that he shares "a little secret" with House Speaker Mike Johnson. It involves creating a scenario where, in the event of a Democratic victory, the lower house of Congress, rather than the electorate, decides who will be the next president. This possibility is included in the Constitution.
Here lies the crux of the entire plan. Trump wants to trigger a massive wave of protests, leading to situations in key counties and states where officials loyal to him refuse to certify the election results.
This strategy poses significant risks for these officials, as they could face immediate lawsuits from state authorities and risk high prison sentences.
Trump has another weapon in his arsenal: the Supreme Court. Because of his appointments during his first term, six out of nine judges favored him.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the Supreme Court might decide that the House of Representatives, not the electorate, should appoint the country's next leader.
"Rzeczpospolita" recalls that in 2000, the Supreme Court's decision regarding voting in Florida resulted in George W. Bush becoming president, not Al Gore.
The White House or prison
Donald Trump is more determined than ever to seize the White House at all costs. He faces several charges, including attempting a coup d'état. He has also been found guilty of financial fraud in New York, although the court has not yet determined the sentence.
If he does not return to Washington for another term and gain immunity, he will likely spend the coming years in courtrooms or possibly even prison.
