Former President Donald Trump made statements on Sunday regarding the upcoming presidential election, expressing his expectation for the winner to be declared on Election Day. Trump, who has been vocal about alleged election fraud in the 2020 election and has not conceded, acknowledged the possibility of losing in the upcoming election.
During an interview, Trump was asked about the potential for defeat, to which he responded, 'Yeah, I guess, you know. I guess you could lose, can lose. I mean, that happens, right? But I think I have a pretty substantial lead.' He also mentioned the unpredictability of events, stating, 'Bad things could happen. You know, things happen, but it’s going to be interesting.'
When questioned about his plans to address the nation on Election Day, Trump indicated that he would make an appearance 'at the right time.'
Reflecting on the 2020 election, Trump's premature declaration of victory in the early hours following Election Day drew criticism. Despite numerous outstanding ballots in key states, Trump asserted his win and criticized the ongoing vote-counting process, labeling it as 'fraudulent' without evidence. He continued to claim victory despite the unresolved votes.
