The Trump campaign is expected to hold a series of rallies in the wake of President Donald Trump's election defeat.

Mr Trump’s campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh confirmed to reporters that they will hold a series of rallies to build support for the president’s unproven claims of a fraudulent election, Reuters reported.

The details of when and where the rallies will be held are yet to be announced.
In the days leading up to the Presidential election last week, Mr Trump held dozens of large outdoor rallies, defying his critics who warned about the risk of spreading coronavirus.

Large Trump rallies have been a feature of his campaign since 2016 and also continued at various points throughout his four-year presidency.

Mr Trump has always enjoyed holding rallies, saying it gives him a unique opportunity to connect with his base.

Two days after all the major media networks called the election for Mr Biden, Mr Trump is still refusing to concede defeat.
His legal team has filed lawsuits in several key states alleging widespread voter irregularities and fraud, but is yet to produce any evidence to support the claims. Several of the lawsuits have already been thrown out.  

Mr Trump himself has been tweeting unproven claims of voter fraud, “illegal votes” and that the Democrats are trying to “steal” the election.

None of his claims have been supported by evidence.
