Aide: Trump will accept results if no ‘overwhelming evidence’ of fraud
Donald Trump’s campaign manager says the GOP presidential nominee will accept the results of the election as long as there’s no “overwhelming evidence” of fraud.
{mosads}”Mr. Trump would, if there’s absent overwhelming evidence of any kind of fraud or irregularities,” Kellyanne Conway said Monday on CNN.
“Yes, I know where this conversation is going in part, maybe not by you but by others, Wolf, who go by the same path, you know, will people be violent? Will they not accept the result? The only violence I saw the last day was perpetrated on a Republican headquarters in North Carolina. Somebody firebombed it; I doubt it was a Republican.”
Conway was referring to an incident over the weekend when a local GOP headquarters in North Carolina was firebombed.
Trump in recent days has been ramping up accusations that the election is being rigged against him.
The GOP nominee has said the media is working with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to ensure a victory for the Democratic nominee. He has also tweeted that there is “large scale voter fraud” happening in the U.S.
Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said over the weekend that he and Trump would accept the results of the election.
But he added the American people are “tired of the obvious bias in the national media” and said that is where the “sense of a rigged election goes here.”
