MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has announced his plans to take his fight against voting machines to the Democratic National Convention (DNC), where he hopes to persuade Democrats to support former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Speaking on the War Room podcast over the weekend, Lindell expressed his unwavering support for Trump, whom he referred to as the “great real president.”
Lindell, a vocal proponent of baseless claims about election fraud, praised Trump for his commitment to so-called “secure elections.” “Well, like our great real president always tells me, he says, Mike, he goes, you get these big applauses, but that’s cuz the people want what I’m trying to get to,” Lindell explained. “They want secure elections, everybody does.”
Despite his controversial stance, Lindell insisted that his message resonates with a wide audience. “I can go anywhere,” he declared. “I’m going to Chicago next week for the Democrat convention to be there and to flip Democrats.”
Lindell shared that during a previous visit to Chicago, he encountered Democrats who claimed they were planning to vote for Trump instead of President Joe Biden. He used this anecdote to bolster his argument that there is bipartisan support for Trump’s agenda.
In his discussion, Lindell also criticized early and mail-in voting, making the unsubstantiated claim that over 100 countries have banned these practices. “And over 100 countries have banned early voting and mail-in voting,” he remarked. “Pretty soon, you’ll get to, why don’t we start voting on the next election four years from now, right when this one’s done? It’s crazy!”
Lindell’s continued efforts to push his narrative and influence voters at the DNC underscore his commitment to challenging the current election system, despite widespread debunking of his claims. Whether his presence at the DNC will have any impact on Democratic voters remains to be seen, but Lindell’s determination to “flip Democrats” highlights his ongoing crusade to reshape the conversation around election security.
