Republican Donald Trump refused to explicitly commit to recognizing the result of his rematch against Joe Biden in the November presidential election, according to an interview broadcast Thursday.

“If everything is conducted honestly, I will gladly accept the results,” said the former president, when asked about the presidential election in Wisconsin by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “But if that’s not the case, then we’ll have to fight for the good of the country. »

These words echo the declarations of the septuagenarian during the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump has never accepted his defeat against his Democratic opponent Joe Biden during this election .

“To put it briefly: Donald Trump represents a danger to our Constitution and to democracy,” said a spokesperson for the Biden campaign team , reacting to the billionaire's interview.

During another exchange, published Tuesday, the tempestuous Republican had already been very evasive about the possibility of violence policies in the wake of the November election.

“If we don't win, you know, it depends,” assured Donald Trump, whose supporters, convinced of his victory in the 2020 presidential election, attacked the seat of the American Congress in unimaginable chaos.

Donald Trump is being prosecuted for his role in this assault, and for trying to reverse the results of the last presidential election, particularly in the state of Georgia.
