Trump is Still Hinting at Not Accepting the Results of the Election.
Is anyone really surprised?
Ah, Donald Trump.
I’m not sure there’s a politician out there who has turned exhausting the American public into an artform better than Donald Trump. But of course, he’s never shy about ruffling some feathers and making it clear where he stands and obviously, that’s going to apply to the upcoming election.
Is anyone really surprised that he still hasn’t committed to accepting the results?
Rashard Rose and Kate Sullivan with CNN write:
“Former President Donald Trump refused to unconditionally accept the results of the upcoming 2024 presidential election in an interview Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results. I don’t change on that,” Trump said in the interview. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.”
It’s the latest comment by Trump in which he has sought to undermine confidence in the American electoral system in the event he loses in November. In the interview, he also repeated false claims that he won the state of Wisconsin during the 2020 election and cast doubt on whether ballots will be counted “honestly.”
