McEnany was asked twice earlier this week about Trump’s remarks in which he claimed that the only way he would lose in November was if the election was “rigged”. She did not answer once immediately.

“The president believes he has done a great job for the American people, and that will show in November,” she told one reporter, adding that Trump “believes voter fraud is real,” especially with emails. . Experts have said there is too little evidence of significant fraud associated with voting via mail-in.

“He wants an honest election, and he wants confidence in the election results,” McEnany added.

“Tell the president if he does not win this election – that he will not accept the results unless he wins?” asked another reporter.

“The president has always said he will see what happens and make a decision in the aftermath. It’s the same thing he said in the last election,” McEnany said.

The president has increasingly questioned the possible outcome of the November election in the past week, including unrest by e-mail attacks in a pandemic that is likely to force millions of Americans to vote by mail.
