President Donald Trump’s namesake son on Thursday hit out at the “2024 GOP hopefuls” for “sitting on the sidelines” and not speaking out against the “fraud” in the counting of votes as claimed by the President, PTI reported.

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” Trump claimed in his Thursday’s address at the White House, adding that if “illegal votes” are counted, “they (Democrats) can try to steal the election from us.”  

“This is a fraud on the American public,” he said, PTI reported.

“Where are the so-called future of the GOP? Nikki Haley is doing what?” a Twitter user wrote.

“This is an important point!” Donald Trump Jr tweeted.

“Everyone should be watching who is actually fighting this flagrant nonsense and who is sitting on the sidelines.”

According to him, the Republicans have been “weak for decades which has allowed for the left to do these things.”

“Let’s end that trend once and for all,” he added.

In a series of tweets, Trump Jr later said,  “The total lack of action from virtually all of the ‘2024 GOP hopefuls’ is pretty amazing.”

“They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead. Don’t worry @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!” he tweeted.
