Could he challenge the results of the election again? Republican Donald Trump refused, Thursday, May 2, to explicitly commit to recognizing the result of his return match against Joe Biden during the November presidential election. “If everything is conducted honestly, I will happily accept the results”declared the former president in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “But if this is not the case, then we will have to fight for the good of the country.”

During a previous exchange, published Tuesday, the Republican had already been very evasive about the possibility of political violence in the wake of the November election. “If we don’t win, you know, it depends.”, assured Donald Trump, some of whose supporters, convinced of his victory in the 2020 presidential election, had attacked the seat of the American Congress. Donald Trump is being prosecuted for his role in this assault and for having attempted to reverse the results of the last presidential election, particularly in the state of Georgia.

The White House reacted to the words of the former Republican president by assuring that Joe Biden, “will accept the will of the American people” at the end of the vote next fall. “Donald Trump represents a danger to our Constitution and to democracy”also hit the Democratic candidate’s campaign team.
