Former President Donald Trump made statements on Sunday about the upcoming presidential election, expressing his expectation that the winner will be announced 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 the upcoming election.
During an interview, Trump was asked about the potential for defeat, to which he replied: “Yeah, I guess you know. I guess you can lose, you can lose. I mean, it happens, right? But I think I have a pretty significant lead. He also mentioned the unpredictability of events, stating, “Bad things can happen. You know, things happen, but it’s going to be interesting.
Asked about his plans to address the nation on Election Day, Trump said he would appear “at the right time.”
With the 2020 election in mind, Trump’s premature declaration of victory in the early hours after Election Day drew criticism. Despite numerous absentee ballots in key states, Trump confirmed his victory and criticized the ongoing vote-counting process, calling it “fraudulent” without evidence. He went on to claim victory despite the tied votes.
