Trump says he'll accept a clear election result, won't lose

WASHINGTON- Donald Trump is stepping back only slightly from his refusal to say during his debate with Hillary Clinton whether he would concede if he loses on Election Day.

 

Trump now says he will accept "a clear election result" but still reserves his right to "contest or file a legal challenge" if he loses -- and he says he won't lose.

 

Republicans and Democrats alike criticize Trump over an attitude some contend strikes at the heart of American democracy.

 

While Trump maintains he will win, numerous Republican leaders concede that he is heading for defeat barring a significant shift in the campaign's closing days. The GOP's top concern is turning to salvaging its majority in the Senate, followed closely by worries over the Republicans' once comfortable grip on the House.
