Trump says he won't declare victory before votes are counted
President Donald Trump is denying a report that he plans to declare victory Tuesday before all results are in, calling the report "false."
However he continued to press to have all of the ballots counted on Tuesday night, claiming, without evdence, that ballots counted after the polls close would be more open to fraud.
"As soon as that election's over, we're going in with our lawyers," Trump said.
Vice President Joe Biden was asked by reporters earlier about the possibility that Trump would declare victory on Nov. 3, even before all of the votes were reported by state election officials.
"My response is the president's not gonna steal this election," the Democratic nominee said.
Election results are not certified until all of the ballots, including absentee ballots, are counted, even if a candidate declares victory.
Biden also denounced the group of Trump supporters in Texas who appeared to aggressively tail and harass a Biden campaign bus on Friday. The FBI is investigating the incident, which was praised by the president and his allies.
"We've never had anything like this. At least, we've never had a president who thinks it's a good thing," Biden said. "Folks, this is not who we are. We are so much better than this."
