Donald Trump has said he would accept the result of the elections – so long as voting is “fair”.
Casting his vote in Palm Beach, Florida, the former president said: “If I lose an election, if it’s a fair election, I’m gonna be the first one to acknowledge it.”
It comes amid fears that the kind of violence and interference seen after the 2020 election could be repeated.
Asked whether he would call for calm among his supporters if he lost, Trump said: “I certainly don’t want any violence.” He added: “Of course there’ll be no violence; my supporters are not violent people.”
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former lawyer, told The Telegraph he had seen no sign of cheating, but added: “I know anything is possible with crooked Democrats.”
It comes after Kamala Harris took part in a series of local radio interviews in key battleground states this morning as the Democrats mount their final push to get voters out to the polls.
Addressing slurs her opponents have levelled against her – including Trump calling her a “low-IQ individual” – Ms Harris said their insults are “meant to distract” her, adding: “I’m not going to get distracted by that noise.”
Nate Silver, America’s top polling analyst, has said that the race is “closer than a coin flip”, with his election model predicting Kamala Harris would win by a narrow margin.
