Former President Donald Trump said "gladly accept the results" of a possible loss in the 2024 presidential election "if everything's honest."

"If everything's honest, I'll gladly accept the results. I don't change on that," Trump said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday (May 1). "If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country."

Trump, 77, then continued to claim he actually defeated President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

"If you go back and look at all of the things that had been found out, it showed that I won the election in Wisconsin," Trump said. "It also showed I won the election in other locations."

Biden defeated Trump by just over 20,000 votes, despite recount requests by Trump and reviews by conservatives, which found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, in the 2020 presidential election, which was protested and met with riots by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, following his public claims. The former president is reported to hold a small lead over the current president in the latest Emerson College Polling/the Hill poll published on Tuesday (April 30).

Trump is reported to be leading Biden by a 48% to 44% margin in Arizona (8% undecided); 47% to 44% in Georgia (9% undecided); 45% to 44% in Michigan (11% undecided); 45% to 44% in Nevada (11% undecided); 47% to 42% in North Carolina (10% undecided); 47% to 45% in Pennsylvania (8% undecided); and 47% to 45% in Wisconsin (8%) undecided. Biden had previously won all of the states included in the poll, except North Carolina, during the 2020 presidential election.

“The state of the presidential election in swing states has remained relatively consistent since Emerson and The Hill started tracking them last November,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “The share of undecided voters has reduced and Biden gained ground in Georgia and Nevada, narrowing the gap, while Trump has maintained a slight edge on Biden in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin."

“Independent voters break for Trump over Biden in Arizona (48%-38%), Michigan (44%-35%), Nevada (43%-37%), Pennsylvania (49%-33%), and North Carolina (41%-38%). However they break for Biden over Trump in Georgia (42%-38%) and Wisconsin (44%-41%),” Kimball added.

Biden is also reported to have lost support in Georgia (45% to 39%), Nevada (42% to 37%), North Carolina 46% to 37%), Pennsylvania (45% to 41%) and Wisconsin (45% to 40%), though facing the same deficit against Trump in Arizona (4%) and Michigan (1%), when third-party candidates are included on the ballot, according to the poll.
