President Donald Trump, in a rare moment of acknowledging he might lose, echoed an oft-repeated suggestion of his detractors: If Joe Biden wins, Trump said he will "leave the country."
"Running against the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics puts pressure on me," Trump told a rally Friday night in Macon, Georgia. "Could you imagine if I lose? My whole life, what am I going to do? I'm going to say 'I lost to the worst candidate in the history of politics.' I'm not going to feel so good."
"Maybe I'll have to leave the country? I don't know."
Generally, Trump does not see the negative outcomes, long refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, because he said he would not lose.
"I will deliver optimism, opportunity and hope, and that's what we're doing, and this is why we have this kind of spirit, and I hate to say it because I don't want to insult Georgia, but it's this way all over our country," Trump said.
