Donald Trump has revealed what he will do in November if he loses the 2024 presidential election and concerns about the election's integrity linger.
The former president spoke to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about issues around election authenticity during a recent interview.
His comments came after a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The midwestern state will be key to the presidential election and will be home to the 2024 Republican National Convention where Trump is expected to be formally nominated as the party's nominee to take on Democrat Joe Biden.
'If everything's honest, I'll gladly accept the results. I don't change on that,' Trump said. 'If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country.'
The comments bore echoes of his 2020 election denial claims, which were central to his attempt to unseat Biden. Election fraud claims were a catalyst that propelled a mob to storm the Capitol on January 6 in protest of the election's certification.

In the interview on Wednesday, Trump repeated a lie that he had in fact won Wisconsin in 2020.
'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.'
His claims were disproven following a recount and Republican-backed reviews that found no evidence of voter fraud as Trump claimed.
President Biden clinched Wisconsin in 2020 by just over 20,000 votes, securing 1,630,866 votes compared to Trump's 1,610,184. Trump previously won the state in 2016.
Trump's latest interview and claims comes as he faces a slew of criminal cases. Trump has been hit with is a charge of obstruction in Special Counsel Jack Smith's criminal case against him for election interference.
However, the Supreme Court appears to be casting aspersions on whether federal prosecutors went too far in bringing obstruction charges against hundreds of participants in the January 6 riot.

The former president is facing federal charges in connection to the events of January 6
If the court determines prosecutors over stepped, it could have far reaching consequences for Trump who faces the same charge for his efforts to overturn his election loss in 2020.
The Supreme Court's conservative justices appear skeptical of an obstruction charge against a former police officer who entered the Capitol on January 6.
Joseph Fischer, was charged with assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct in the Capitol and obstruction of a Congressional proceeding on January 6, 2021.
Fischer asked the court to throw out the felony obstruction charge, arguing the law he is accused of violating was only intended to apply to evidence tampering not events such as January 6.
Conservative justices pressed Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar over the use of the provision of the law.
Justice Clarence Thomas asked whether the provision had ever been used in other protests in the past.
Prelogar said said it had been used in a variety of prosecutions that don't focus on evidence tampering.
'Now I can't give you an example of enforcing it in a situation where people have violently stormed a building in order to prevent an official proceeding,' she admitted.

'But that's just because I'm not aware of that circumstance ever happening prior to January 6th.'
Trump was sensationally restored to the ballot by the Supreme Court after attempts to remove him in several states over his alleged role in inciting the January 6 mob.
The justices ruled a day before the Super Tuesday primaries that states cannot invoke a post-Civil War constitutional provision to keep presidential candidates from appearing on ballots.
That power resides with Congress, the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
The former president was back out on the campaign trail on Wednesday as he took a break from court. Trump used the rallies in Wisconsin and Michigan to blast the criminal and civil cases against him and railed against the presiding judges and President Biden.
The events were the first campaign rallies Trump has held since the hush money trial against him began in New York nearly three weeks ago.
Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records for covering up hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
