Donald Trump announces he will "do other things" if he fails the 2020 US presidential election
As the clash between Donald Trump and Joe Biden burns up ahead of the 2020 US presidential election, the two have increasingly stated that the opposite contestant thinks to cheat their way to success.
US President Donald Trump spoke in a roundtable discussion with members of the faith community, law enforcement, and small business at Gateway Church Dallas Campus in Dallas, Texas, US. US President Donald Trump announced he will proceed on to other things if he loses the November 3 election, after Democratic opponent Joe Biden told the Republican might cheat and ignore to leave the White House.
"Certainly if I don’t win, I don’t win. I mean, you know, go on and do other things," Trump said Fox News Channel in a television interview telecasted on Friday. As the clash between Trump and Biden burns up ahead of the election, the two have increasingly stated that the opposite side thinks to cheat their way to success.
Biden, who is leading Trump in most national polls, earlier this week declared his biggest concern was that Trump would seek to “steal” the election, though the former vice president did not elaborate on how he thought Trump might cheat. Biden announced he is sure soldiers would escort Trump from the White House if he fails and does not recognize the outcome.
Trump’s comment to Fox News hinted he could admit the election outcome but the president did not specifically say so. Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh on Thursday announced Trump would accept the outcome. Trump has blamed Democrats of aiming to use an increase in mail-in voting as a venue for rigging the election, while Biden has vowed to use lawyers to polling stations across the nation to look out for Republican attempts to defeat the vote. Election experts and officials are bracing for a potentially tumultuous election night.
A surge in mail-in balloting is expected due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, and experts recommend the process could be damaged by the chaos of the type previously noticed in primary elections conducted in states when the viral outbreak.
Huge numbers of mail ballots could not be delivered in time to be cast or count could lead to legal challenges over election outcomes. Counting mail ballots also takes more time because a voter’s identification must first be verified, raising the possibility that the election result will not be known well past Election Day, experts speak.
