US President Donald Trump told supporters at a rally in Nevada its governor and Democrats are going to "rig" the election, after local officials tried to block public gatherings on his campaign trail due to coronavirus health guidelines.
Speaking from Minden on Saturday night, Trump called Steve Sisolak "a political hack" before asking the audience if the governor could be trusted with millions of ballots, saying "how would you trust a guy that fought that we aren't here?"
"It's the Democrats," he said, adding, "they're trying to rig this election."
Nevada hasn’t supported a Republican presidential candidate since 2004.
