PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — “If it’s a fair election, I’d be the first one to acknowledge,” the results, Trump said, though what meets that definition wasn’t clear.
Speaking to reporters after voting in Florida, Trump said that he had no plans to tell his supporters to refrain from violence should he lose.
“I don’t have to tell them,” because they “are not violent people,” he said.
Trump planned to visit a nearby campaign office to thank those working on his behalf.
Trump says paper ballots and 1-day voting should be the norm
“I’m hearing in Pennsylvania they won’t have an answer ’til two or three days from now,” Trump said. “I think it’s an absolute outrage if that’s the case.”
Trump says he will have “a very special group of people” at Mar-a-Lago and a few thousand people at a nearby convention center to watch the election results.
“It looks like we have a very substantial lead,” he said without elaborating on whether he has a plan on when to declare victory.
Trump refuses to say how he voted on Florida’s abortion ballot measure
Asked about the measure, which would keep the state’s six-week restriction in place, he avoided answering by simply saying he’d done “a great job bringing it back to the states.”
The second time, he snapped at a reporter, saying: “You should stop talking about it.”
Trump had previously indicated he would back the measure, but then changed his mind, saying he would vote against it.
The abortion measure would prevent lawmakers from passing any law that penalizes, prohibits, delays or restricts abortion until fetal viability, which doctors say is sometime after 21 weeks. If it’s rejected, the state’s current abortion law would stand.
