While some Republican party members have criticised the president for his stance, others are reportedly backing his claims.

Legit.ng recalls that Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the vote-counting process in the US presidential election, alleging that the process is rigged.

The president in a tweet on Wednesday, November 4, claimed that the Democrats manipulated the election result.

Trump alleged that he was leading strongly in many states before his lead began to magically disappear one by one.

Similarly, a son of the US president, Donald Trump Jr, has backed his father’s unproven claims alleging that there is massive fraud being carried out in the US presidential election.

Trump Jr in a tweet called on his father to wage total war against those he believed were cheating in the presidential election.

Another son of the president, Eric Trump called on the Republican party to fight what he alleged was voter fraud.

However, neither Trump nor his sons have provided evidence to back their claims of fraud.
