Top Republican lawmakers have dismissed the president's refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power and Democrats have described the comments as chilling.
Eric Trump told a crowd of his father's supporters at an event in Las Vegas that President Donald Trump would concede the election “if he got blown out of the water” by Democratic nominee Joe Biden after the president had cast doubts on a peaceful transfer of power once the race is decided.
Nine states and the District of Columbia plan to send ballots in the mail to all registered voters. Of those states, only Nevada is considered a swing state where Biden holds a six-point lead. In other states, such as Michigan and Florida, voters have to request an absentee ballot in order to vote by mail.
"And I want a smooth beautiful transition, but they don’t add the other part," he said, pointing toward journalists at the event."But it’s got to be an honest vote."
