Washingtn: President Donald Trump, asked by a reporter at a White House press conference, declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the November election to his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
“We’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump said. “You know that I have been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster.”
“You get rid of the ballots, you’ll have a very peaceful, there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation,” he said. “The ballots are out of control, you know it, and you know who knows it better than anybody else, the Democrats know it, better than anybody else.”
Levelling unsubstantiated claims about fraud, Trump has frequently complained about states planning to vote by mail to reduce risk of coronavirus infection of the population.
