'You don’t have to vote': Trump urges MAGA fans to ditch the polls in 2024

During ex-President Donald Trump appearance in New Hampshire Monday, the MAGA hopeful told the audience not to vote in the 2024 presidential election, The Daily Beast reports.

Per the Beast, Trump "said he would have 'plenty of votes'—enough that instead of voting, his fans should 'get out there and watch those voters,' presumably referring to supporters of his eventual opponent. 'You don’t have to vote, don't worry about voting. The voting, we got plenty of votes.'"

This come as the former president continues to claim the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, while facing two criminal indictments — one in Washington, D.C., and the other in Fulton County, Georgia — over his attempt to overturn the election.

In, Trump also told Republican voters not to cast a vote in the 2022 midterm election, according to Vanity Fair, releasing a public statement, saying "If we don't solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in '22 or '24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do."

During the 2022 midterm elections, Republican candidates suffered several disappointments, including races in key swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
