DeSantis predicts Trump won't accept results in Iowa or New Hampshire if he loses
CBSN
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he expects that if former president Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, were to lose the first Republican voting contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, he won't accept the results.
Trump never publicly accepted his loss in the 2020 election and has been indicted in two separate cases related to his alleged efforts to thwart the peaceful transfer of power.
"He will say it's stolen no matter what. He will try to delegitimize the results. He did that against Ted Cruz in 2016," DeSantis said, referring to Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses. In remarks to reporters in New Hampshire Friday, DeSantis pointed out Trump had also tried to discredit the Emmy Awards for years after his show, "The Apprentice," failed to win any awards.
