Trump Suggests That He Could Refuse To Accept The Results Of The 2020 Election If He Loses!
President Donald Trump refused to commit to accepting the results of the 2020 election and ensuring a peaceful transition of power in an interview with "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
In the interview, aired on Sunday, Trump undermined confidence in the result of the 2020 election by falsely claiming that mail-in ballots are "rigged," and opened the door to later contesting the results if he loses to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
"In general, not talking about November are you a good loser?", Wallace asked.
"I'm not a good loser, I don't like to lose, I don't lose too often" Trump replied
"But are you gracious?" Wallace pressed.
"You don't know until you see, I think it depends. I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election," Trump said. "I really do."
"But are you suggesting you might not accept the results of the election?" Wallace continued.
"I have to see," Trump said. Wallace then reminded Trump that he asked him a similar question as to whether he would concede the election if he lost in an October 19, 2016 presidential debate. At the time, Trump told Wallace he would "tell you at the time" and "keep you in suspense."
Wallace then asked: "Can you give a direct answer, you will accept the election?"
"I have to see, look, I have to see, I'm not just going to say yes, I'm not going to say no, and I didn't last time either," Trump replied. Posted by Abdul
