US election 2024: 'Bad things could happen,' Donald Trump on losing to Kamala Harris

Donald Trump

Republican party candidate Donald Trump has acknowledged that he could lose the presidential election 2024 to Democratic party nominee and vice president Kamala Harris. The statement comes a day before the US goes to election to choose the new president on November 5.

“Yeah, I guess, you know,” Trump said in response to the question if he thinks he could lose when asked by ABC News Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Sunday (Nov 3).

“I guess you could lose, can lose. I mean, that happens, right?” he said. “But I think I have a pretty substantial lead, but, you could say, yeah, yeah, you could lose. Bad things could happen. You know, things happen, but it’s going to be interesting,” he added.

Trump has already cried foul over possible ballot fraud in the upcoming election, which he may be referring to in his 'bad things' remark.

It is to be noted that there was a riot in January 2021, two months after Trump had lost the election to Joe Biden in November 2020. The protesters had stormed the Capitol on January 6 in support of Trump.

Keeping the situation in mind, the stores and businesses in the capital city of Washington D.C. have put up plywood planks in anticipation of another riot if Trump loses.

The National Guard is also on standby while the security has been enhanced at major institutions to avoid any mishap this time.

According to a report by news outlet Washington Post, the US Secret Services have built fences around the White House, Treasury Department complex, Lafayette Square, and the Naval Observatory.

Another factor to raise the security is the shooting attempt on Trump at an election rally in Pennsylvania.
