When Pennsylvania was eventually called in his favor later that night, those claims suddenly dried up, never to be spoken of again. The post, on Trump's own social media platform, echoed unfounded claims made around Election Day in 2020 that votes were being "found" for Democratic Party candidate and eventual winner Joe Biden.

During the 2024 campaign, President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence that Democratic "cheating" and voter fraud were occurring. When he was declared the winner early Wednesday morning, those claims abruptly ended. Tuesday afternoon, as votes were being cast, Trump claimed on social media there was "massive cheating" in Philadelphia.
