How is it an "honest" election when you call everything "rigged'?

Trump says he will only accept 2024 election results ‘if everything’s honest’

Former President Donald Trump refused to unconditionally accept the results of the upcoming 2024 presidential election in an interview Wednesday with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“If everything’s honest, I’ll gladly accept the results. I don’t change on that,” Trump said in the interview. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.”

It’s the latest comment by Trump in which he has sought to undermine confidence in the American electoral system in the event he loses in November. In the interview, he also repeated false claims that he won the state of Wisconsin during the 2020 election and cast doubt on whether ballots will be counted “honestly.”


“If you go back and look at all of the things that had been found out, it showed that I won the election in Wisconsin,” Trump told the Journal Sentinel. “It also showed I won the election in other locations.”

President Joe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020, coming out ahead by about 21,000 votes – a victory of about 0.6 percentage points.

Trump said he would “let it be known” if he thought the 2024 election wasn’t “honest,” but said he anticipated it would be.

“I’d be doing a disservice to the country if I said otherwise,” Trump told the Journal Sentinel. “But no, I expect an honest election and we expect to win maybe very big.”

Trump said, “But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results.”
