President Trump is declining to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 election. “We’re going to have to see what happens,” he said at a news conference where he continued his monthslong campaign against mail-in voting.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump has baselessly claimed widespread mail voting will lead to massive fraud. The five states that routinely send mail ballots to all voters have seen no significant fraud.
In a July interview, Trump similarly refused to commit to accepting the results, and he made similar comments ahead of the 2016 election. It is highly unusual that a sitting president would express less than complete confidence in the American democracy’s electoral process. But Trump four years ago, when in the closing stages of his race against Hillary Clinton, also declined to commit to honoring the election results if the Democrat won.
