Trump Denies Claims That He Will Declare Victory Based Solely on Early Results

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism about winning the presidential election. He also confidently claimed that he would achieve a bigger victory than in the previous election.

On the 3rd (local time), President Trump appeared on Fox News and said, "I feel very good." He also indicated that he expects to secure more electoral votes than the 306 he obtained in the last election.

He denied claims made by some media that he might declare victory based solely on early vote counts. He said, "Only when I win... there is no need to joke around," adding, "The chances of winning are very high."

On election day, President Trump only visited the campaign office to encourage his aides.

He told reporters, "I am not thinking about a concession speech or a re-election acceptance speech." President Trump expressed regret over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to allow mail-in ballots arriving within three days after election day in Pennsylvania, one of the key battleground states. He called it "a very dangerous decision for our country." He claimed that this decision could lead to fraud and alter vote counts.

This statement is interpreted as an extension of his earlier suggestion that he might file a lawsuit regarding the Pennsylvania election results.

Meanwhile, President Trump planned to hold an election party with supporters at the White House that evening. Initially, he considered holding the party at the Trump Hotel in Washington DC, but canceled the plan due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
