Donald Trump denounces California primary results and fuels unfounded fraud claims

President Donald Trump described California’s recent primary election as “distorted” and alleged that violence and fraud influenced the outcome. He warned that excluding Republicans from the November general election would lead to “major trouble and chaos.” The comments came days after reality‑star Spencer Pratt fell to third place in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, trailing far‑left Democrat Nitya Raman.

In a related development, MAGA‑aligned attorney Will Chamberlain floated an illegal scheme to prevent the U.S. House from seating any California representatives who were not leading on election‑night results. Legal experts quickly dismissed the idea as unconstitutional and contrary to Supreme Court precedent. The proposal was condemned by former election officials as “clickbait nonsense.”
