Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton expressed concerns that Donald Trump may refuse to accept the results of the presidential election if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, Anadolu reports.

“No, I don’t think so. And I think we should be ready for it,” Bolton said Tuesday in an interview with CNN when asked if he believes the former president would accept the results.

He emphasised the need for vigilance. “I think everybody ought to be ready because Trump never loses. And if he loses, it’s because it’s ‘stolen’ so it will be difficult,” he said.
