The Republican leader in the Senate contradicts Trump and sees electoral fraud in the US as "very little" likely

MADRID, 23 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The leader of the Republican minority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, considers episodes of electoral fraud in the United States "very infrequent", a statement that clashes head-on with the line of the party, which has closed ranks around the conspiracy theory from former President Donald Trump that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

McConnell, a senator from Kentucky, has pointed out that although this fraud can occur "on occasion", he has remarked that it is "very unlikely" that it will occur, so he does not consider that American democracy is in danger, after being asked about an NBC poll in which the main concern of the respondents was the alleged threat to the electoral process.

However, he considers that it is "an important issue" since "for the first time in the history of the United States" after the 2020 elections there were those who tried to torpedo the orderly transfer of power in the White House, although he has highlighted that those efforts were "frustrated".

"I guess that had some impact on the poll, but I think we have a very strong democracy. I don't think it's one of the things we have to worry about, I wouldn't worry about it," he said.

The NBC poll reflects that 57 percent of United States voters are in favor of the investigation against Trump for possible irregularities, after the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago mansion, from which about twenty boxes full of folders with classified documentation, some of them with the top secret label.
