If Donald Trump loses the US presidential election next November, will he accept the election results? The question is based on a quote from Joe Biden. Biden will compete with Trump as the Democratic candidate. In an interview last month, Biden said Trump could object to leaving the White House if he loses the election.There is no reason to take the matter lightly. Trump never concedes defeat in any matter; Do not admit your mistakes. He considers himself the best president in America. There is no reason to think that such a selfish president would leave Medina without a war.
The possibility that Trump could be defeated in the next election is now becoming clear. Biden is 10-14 points ahead of Trump in opinion polls. The Republican leadership reads the polls. They are also feeling the danger. Veteran Republican Senator Chuck Grassley tweeted that Trump should correct himself. He has urged White House officials to explain the matter to Trump.There are several reasons to think that Trump will not accept defeat easily. He has been saying for weeks that the next election is going to be rigged. The theft will be by post-vote. Democrats have been calling for a vote by mail in the name of Corona the only reason it can be so easily manipulated. One will vote for another, ballot papers will be stolen, and so on. Trump is therefore vehemently opposed to the post-vote. He had previously criticized the post-vote.
In the 2016 election, he received 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. Then Trump said, those were fake votes. When the Republican Party lost control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections in 2016, Trump said it was also because of fake postal votes.
But most polls show that there is no evidence of fraud through postal voting.
The Brennan Center for Justice, which is known as a non-partisan body, surveyed the results of the last few elections and found that the chances of any election being rigged in the United States were at most zero point zero three percent.
Some observers have suggested that the Democrats would benefit more from the postal voting system.
Various black voter groups (especially African-Americans) and young voters are less interested in going to the polls. Many more voters may be reluctant to go to the polls because of the Corona epidemic. They will vote if they have the opportunity to vote by post. As a result, there is a possibility of more votes against Trump in the election. That's the reason for Trump's objection to the postal vote.
A few days ago, he wrote on Twitter that if the election is by post-vote, there will be fraud. Trump's statement was described by Twitter authorities as "baseless" because it was written without evidence.
Citing Trump's old habit of spreading rumors without evidence, the New York Times wrote in a report that Trump is making arrangements in advance to question the legitimacy of the upcoming election as public opinion polls are falling behind.Part of the Republican leadership has echoed Trump's allegations. A conservative group called the Honest Elections Project has launched a multi-million dollar campaign against the postal vote. But not everyone in the Republican leadership is happy with Trump's tactics. If there is a chance of a post-vote, there will be a chance to vote, which is true for both the Democratic and Republican parties.
But if the president himself opposes it, it will be difficult for Republicans to campaign for postal vote.
Controversy over whether Trump will abide by the election ruling has eroded the American people's confidence in the US democratic system. Multiple right-wing websites have said they will not only reject such results, but also take part in the uprising.Opposing the impeachment in the US Congress, Roger Stone, an ally of Trump, warned that any attempt to remove Trump from power would "start an unprecedented uprising." If you lose, don't hand over power peacefully, ”said former Labor Minister Robert Reich.
It is true that there is danger, but there is no doubt that this danger is being exaggerated. If the gap between the two candidates in the election results is too small, as in the case of George W. Bush vs. Al Gore in 2000, the matter will go to court. The Supreme Court now has a majority of conservatives. As a result, if they win Trump, it will come as no surprise.Stephen Levitsky, a professor at Harvard, said it was certain that Trump would be accused of stealing votes if he lost by a narrow margin. But if there is a big gap in the election results, then no matter how many allegations of rigging are raised, it will not last. If Trump loses the election, Republicans are expected to lose control of the Senate as well. Then both the Senate and the House of Representatives will be occupied by Democrats.
The Republican leadership will not have a thief-cop game in the face of opposition from both houses of Congress.
The great thing is that America's democratic system is not so fragile. The country is about two and a half hundred years old, it has suffered many storms. By all means, the people have kept democracy at bay. This achievement they will not give up easily.Trump himself knows this fact. His current moment is a political game, just an attempt to boost the morale of his loyal supporters. A few days ago, Fox News asked him, what will he do after losing in November? In response, Trump said philosophically, "If we don't win, we won't win, but it will be a great tragedy for our country."
Really? I leave the answer to this question in the hands of the reader.
