Farage: Harris to pardon Trump if she wins the election  - 1

Far-right British politician Nigel Farage said Kamala Harris should pardon his friend Donald Trump to "reduce" the threat of riots if she wins the US elections, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.

The leader of "Reform UK" also suggested the GOP nominee concede defeat and "go play golf" in Scotland, instead of claiming that the vote was stolen if it suffered a "clear and definite" loss on Tuesday.

Trump faces sentencing later in November after pleading guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business documents in connection with the hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election.< /p>

Farage, who last month accused Labor of "direct interference" of the US election, after it emerged that party activists had volunteered at Harris' campaign headquarters, said: "If she wins on Tuesday, I hope she pardons him.

"She can play magnanimous and that will reduce potential tensions," Farage added.

Washington is bracing for possible civil unrest after pro-Trump protesters stormed the US Capitol after Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Polls put Republican candidate Trump and Harris in a tight battle.

Farage suggested his friend Trump would refrain from rejecting Tuesday's result, as he did four years ago, if he lost decisively to his Democratic rival.

"If that's clear and definite, maybe it's time for Trump to go play golf in Turnbury (South West Scotland - ed.)", he said.

"This is all hypothetical and I still think he will win," Farage added.

His intervention comes after Farage last month accused Labor in Britain of "direct election interference" in the US because their officials help the Democrats, which according to the party is a common practice and is done at the expense of activists according to American laws.

"This is direct election interference by the ruling Labor Party and is especially stupid if Trump wins. Who is paying for all this?'' Farage wrote on the social platform 'X'.

The British MP for Clacton has traveled to the U.S. repeatedly to show his support for Trump, including a visit there in July for which he claimed expenses of £32,836 ($42,540) provided by a private donor for flights and accommodation.

In the Parliamentary Register of Interests in the British Parliament, he stated that the purpose of the trip was "to support a friend who was nearly killed and to introduce Clacton to the world stage.

Farage also appeared last night at Trump's campaign event in the swing state of Pennsylvania, where both US presidential candidates have come together in a last-ditch effort to win votes there before Election Day.
