Washington, August 20 (RHC)-- The White House is refusing to commit U.S. President Donald Trump to accepting the results of the 2020 presidential election.  Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Wednesday that the president has been clear that he will "see what happens" in November.

"The president has always said he'll see what happens, and make a determination in the aftermath. It's the same thing he said last November.  He wants a free election, a fair election, and he wants confidence in the results of the election," McEnany said.

Trump also made a similar comment Monday, raising concerns that he would not accept loss in the upcoming election against former Vice President Joe Biden.  "The only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is rigged," said the president in a White House news conference.

Trump was pressed on the issue in a recent interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace.  "I have to see.  Look, you — I have to see.  No, I'm not going to just say 'yes.'  I'm not going to say no and I didn't last time either," he said. 

The president has recently been pointing to corruption in U.S. elections, suggesting that they are "rigged."  "Some states use 'drop boxes' for the collection of Universal Mail-In Ballots.  So who is going to 'collect' the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation?  A Rigged Election?  So bad for our Country.  Only Absentee Ballots acceptable!" the president tweeted earlier this week.
