Donald Trump claims he was robbed of a second term back in 2020 and appears to want to go on the offensive to prevent a sequel.
"I had 63 million [votes]," he said in an interview snippet with his former press secretary Sean Spicer on "The Sean Spicer Show." "And I was told if I get 63 million we win easily... But when they rig and cheat, you know, there's not a lot you can do about that other than you have to stop it."
"And we have to stop it a second time."

The context of the comments is hard to discern from the 16-second teaser clip that was posted by the Biden-Harris campaign.
Also hard to discern is what the former president said after it ends.
It's an especially aggressive pledge that echoes the speech he gave when he was standing at the Ellipse before a mob of supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, when he called for them to fight for their country.

"We fight like hell," he said in that infamous moment. "And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."
The Trump-supporting mobs ended up storming the Capitol in an attempt to thwart the certification of the election results to then President Elect Joe Biden.
Trump has never formally conceded to losing the 2020 election.
“We won the race,” he told Fox News. “This was corruption. Because we got far more votes than him.”
In truth, Biden earned 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232 — which happened to mirror the same margin that Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.
And soon after the loss, Trump aired the 63 million votes beef.
“Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes. ... I got 63 million votes four years ago and won quite handily in the Electoral College. ...We were hoping to get 68 (million) or so and we felt that was a path to an easy victory. I got 74 million votes.”
He added that the Biden numbers are juiced.
“There’s no way Joe Biden got 80 million votes. ... There’s no way Joe Biden beat Barack Obama in the Black communities of various cities.”
But as The AP fact-checked, the incredible voter turnout (the highest in more than a century) securing 80 million votes punched to Biden isn't impossible.
