Romney on Trump Losing the Election: ‘Don’t Expect Him To Go Quietly in the Night’

In the days following the 2020 presidential election, President Donald Trump has been claiming that he is the victor and that there is massive voter fraud in battleground states where he is trailing President-elect Joe Biden (D).

Despite a lack of evidence, the Trump campaign has continued to push its narrative even as networks began to call the race for Biden. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) was asked if he is concerned by Trump’s decision to push the voter fraud narrative.

“You’re not going to change the nature of President Trump in these last days — apparently — of his presidency,” Romney said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

He continued, “ is who he is. And he has a relatively relaxed relationship with the truth. And so he’s going to keep on fighting until the very end.”

Still, Romney said, “I am convinced that once all remedies have been exhausted … if those are exhausted in a way that’s not favorable to him. He will accept the inevitable. But don’t expect him to go quietly into the night. That’s not how he operates.”

For his part, Romney addressed the unfounded claims of voter fraud and said he has not “personally” seen evidence of widespread fraud. He noted that state officials across the country have not flagged irregularities on a scale that would change the results of the election.

“But there are recounts that will go on, and you have states where the margin is 10,000 another state where it’s 20,000, 30,000. When the numbers are that low, why there’s the potential for a reversal. So I understand why the president wants to keep on fighting,” Romney said.
