Trump will accept results ‘if it’s a fair election’: Says not knowing winner tonight is an ‘outrage’
Former President Donald Trump said he will accept the results should he lose “if it’s a fair election.
“I’d be the first one to acknowledge,” the results, Trump said, though what meets that definition wasn’t clear.
Speaking to reporters after voting in Florida, Trump said that he had no plans to tell his supporters to refrain from violence should he lose.
“I don’t have to tell them,” because they “are not violent people,” he said.
Trump planned to visit a nearby campaign office to thank those working on his behalf.
Trump said he thinks the results should be known tonight.
“I’m hearing in Pennsylvania they won’t have an answer ‘til two or three days from now,” Trump said. “I think it’s an absolute outrage if that’s the case.”
Trump says he will have “a very special group of people” at Mar-a-Lago and a few thousand people at a nearby convention center to watch the election results.
“It looks like we have a very substantial lead,” he said without elaborating on whether he has a plan on when to declare victory.
“It seems that the conservatives are voting very powerfully,” Trump told reporters.
“It looks like Republicans have shown up in force,” he said.
Asked if he had any regrets about his campaign, Trump responded, “I can’t think of any.”
