Trump now says 'will accept election results - if I win'

TIL Desk/World/Washington/Delaware-Mocking his detractors, Donald Trump has said he will “totally accept” the outcome of the presidential election next month – if he wins, hours after he stunned Americans by refusing to commit that he will accept the results, seen as a threat to the foundation of democracy.

The 70-year-old Republican nominee prone to making controversial remarks, however, said he would reserve his right to file a legal challenge in case of a “questionable result” in the November 8 general election, in which he is contesting against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“Ladies and gentleman, I want to make a major announcement today. I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters, and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic Presidential election, if I win,” Trump told his supporters in Delaware, Ohio.

The billionaire and reality TV star went on to state that he “will accept a clear election result, but I will also reserve my right to contest and file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result”. His latest remarks came hours after he refused to commit whether he would accept the results of the polls, which he has been saying is “rigged”, during the third and final presidential debate yesterday.
