BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Another "Stop the Steal" rally supporting president Donald Trump was underway in Beverly Hills Sunday afternoon. Police said they were keeping an eye on the protest, which began at 1 p.m.
Although it was announced by multiple outlets that Trump had been defeated by Joe Biden in the race for the presidency Saturday, picketers have maintained that the election was stolen from Trump.
A pro-Trump caravan was also seen driving through Glendale and other parts of Los Angeles Sunday, according to witness reports on Twitter.

The same protest was held and attended by several hundred in Beverly Gardens Park on Saturday after election results were called.
The park has become a surprising outpost for Republicans and Trump supporters, now insisting that the Democratic Party committed election fraud.

Trump, so far, has not presented any hard evidence of voter fraud. But this Monday, Trump said his campaign would begin prosecuting his case in court to "ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."
Trump himself issued the following statement Saturday, according to NBC News:
"The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor."
Trump first began making these claims Wednesday, when he falsely said that he had already won the election.
