WATCH: Trump hedges during CNN debate on whether he’d accept 2024 election results

Politics

Though asked three times at CNN's presidential debate on Thursday, former President Donald Trump never directly affirmed that he would accept the election results, no matter who wins.

Several times Trump noted that he would accept the results "if it's a fair and legal and good election," but wouldn't give a "yes" or "no" answer to moderator Dana Bash's inquiries.

The follow-ups came after Trump ultimately denounced political violence as "totally unacceptable."

After the moderator asked Trump three times whether he would accept the results of the November election, Joe Biden responded that he doubted Trump would "because you're such a whiner."

Biden noted there was no evidence of any widespread fraud in the 2020 election and that multiple courts had dismissed challenges brought by Trump's campaign.
