Donald Trump told reporters he was confident he had run a "great campaign," and that he would be "the first to acknowledge" if he loses a fair election.

He added that there will be no violence from his supporters if he loses.

“Of course there will be no violence, my supporters are not violent people,” he said. “I don't have to tell them that. And I certainly don't want any violence, but I certainly don't have to tell. These are great people. These are people that believe in no violence."

The former president has repeatedly said any defeat for him could only stem from widespread fraud, echoing his claims from 2020.

On January 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., disrupting a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential election of 2020, which Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.

The winner of this year’s race may not be known for days if the margins in battleground states are as slim as expected.

The presidential contest reflects a deeply polarized nation whose divisions have only grown starker during a fiercely competitive race.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has urged Americans to come together, warning that a second Trump term would threaten the underpinnings of American democracy.
