He also repeated his attacks on mail-in voting and polls that show him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by a wide margin.<\/b>
\nDuring an interview with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace that aired Sunday, President Trump refused to commit to accepting the results of the 2020 election, slammed mail-in voting and called polls showing him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden \u201cfake\u201d
63%. The Fox News poll found broad support for mail-in voting, with 63% of registered voters saying they favor allowing all U. S. citizens to vote by mail, while just 28% said they oppose such a measure.
Since seizing the nomination in April, Biden has frequently raised alarms about foul play on Trump\u2019s part. In April, Biden predicted that Trump will \u201ctry to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can\u2019t be held\u201d and collude with Russia. Biden made similar claims in June, telling the Daily Show\u2019s Trevor Noah \u201cthis president is going to try to steal this election.\u201d During a virtual fundraiser on Friday, Biden told a group of lawyers that he has begun receiving national security briefings and that \u201cthe Russians are still engaged in trying to delegitimize our electoral process. Fact.\u201d
In response to Trump\u2019s comments to Wallace, the Biden campaign\u2019s Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates said „the American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.“
Trump\u2019s comments come as concerns are mounting that the 2020 result may not be decisive on election night\u2013or even in the weeks after the election. New York is still counting ballots from its primary, which took place three weeks ago, with some close races still uncalled. Additionally, in California, more than 100,000 mail-in ballots went uncounted, leading to concerns about possible voter suppression that build on already-widespread concerns among Democrats that Republicans will suppress voters in red states.<\/p>\n
