Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he believes former US president Donald Trump “probably will” concede the election if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris while reiterating his confidence in the security of US election systems, CNN reports.
Walz also pledged to “shake hands and work for the winner” if Harris loses.
When asked by reporters before Walz boarded his flight from Pennsylvania to Washington, DC, if he believes Trump will concede the election if he loses, Walz said he believes Trump will concede, if “history is […] any indicator.”
Walz gave a preview of how he plans to track the returns after polls close this evening. He said he doesn’t closely track vote counts in particular regions or among specific demographic groups but will consult with members of his team who do, and will follow coverage on TV. He also suggested he plans to go for a jog later today after arriving in Washington.
Walz said he has not spoken to Harris in the last 24 hours but praised her remarks at her final campaign rally in Philadelphia yesterday.
