President Donald Trump declined to say if he would accept the election results in November.

Asked at a press conference Wednesday if he would commit to a peaceful transferal of power if he lost the election, Trump said: Well, were gonna have to see what happens.

The president then tried, again, to delegitimize mail-in voting, saying: You know that Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots. The ballots are a disaster Get rid of the ballots and youll have a peaceful ... there wont be a transfer, frankly, therell be a continuation.

As millions of Americans are set to vote by mail amid the coronavirus pandemic, Trump has repeatedly spread disinformation suggesting that mail-in voting is fraudulent it is not.

In July, Trump similarly said in an interview that hell have to see when asked if hed accept the election results.

The president has been laying the groundwork to declare the election illegitimate , including by undermining the U.S. Postal Service the agency tasked with processing mailed ballots and by claiming that the only way Democrats can win is to cheat which is false.

Trump has also suggested he is pushing through a Supreme Court nominee before the election to position the court to vote in his favor if it is tasked with deciding the election results.

After liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last week, Trump said he would name his replacement pick this Saturday, against her final wishes . Republican senators have indicated that they will vote to approve Trumps nominee which could give the court a firm conservative majority for years to come.
