Trump also joked about running for president in 2028. Critics and opposition groups continue to highlight that many Trump officials have dismissed the notion that the 2020 election was stolen. Though the rally focused on cost of living issues, the upcoming Georgia Senate race and Trump&#8217;s ongoing election assertions loomed large. Ossoff currently leads in polls and has a significant financial advantage over his Republican opponent, Rep. Mike Collins. Trump also criticized Democrats\u2019 potential elimination of the filibuster, emphasizing his continued focus on political battles ahead of the midterm elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> flirted with, but ultimately avoided, explicit claims that the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2020-elections\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"228\">2020<\/a> election was rigged during a Wednesday afternoon rally in Marietta, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/georgia\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"164\">Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president\u2019s lack of direct comments on the 2020 election comes after his primetime address last week, in which he accused <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/china\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"232\">China<\/a> of election interference. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4656754\/trump-flirts-2020-interference-georgia-jon-ossoff\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump tamps down 2020 election interference rhetoric while stumping in Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4658462\/trump-iran-war-dignified-transfers-poll\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>As Trump travels for dignified transfers, he says Americans aren\u2019t against Iran war<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4657789\/lil-wayne-praises-trump-building-ballroom\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Lil Wayne praises Trump for building ballroom<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow we have favored nations, and we pay the lowest prices anywhere in the world from the highest prices, and that alone should win us the midterms,\u201d Trump said Wednesday in his closest comments to alleging election fraud. \u201cBut it\u2019s not going to be that easy with the cheating and everything else that goes on, so make it too big to rig.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRemember my statement: too big to rig.
