Former adviser warns Trump may reject election result if he loses to Harris
ISTANBUL (AA) – Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton expressed concerns that Donald Trump may refuse to accept the result of the presidential election if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris on Nov. 5.
“I think we should be ready for it,” Bolton said Tuesday in an interview with CNN, when asked if he believes the former president would accept the results.
He emphasized the need for vigilance. “I think everybody ought to be ready because Trump never loses. And if he loses, it’s because it’s ‘stolen’ so it will be difficult,” he said.
A recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS reveals that a majority of American voters doubt the Republican nominee would concede if he lost.
Only 30% of registered voters believe Trump would accept defeat, while 73% think the Democratic nominee, Harris, would concede if she lost.
Among Harris supporters, 95% do not expect Trump to concede, whereas 57% of Trump supporters believe he would accept the results.
Bolton addressed Trump’s controversial comments regarding former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, whom he criticized during a recent campaign event.
He said Trump’s disdain for Cheney is rooted in her vote to impeach him after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. “The fact is, she voted to impeach him, after January the 6, and he cannot get it out of his head,” said Bolton.
