Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump: I Will Accept Election Results…If I Win

HeadlineOct 21, 2016

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump campaigned in Ohio Thursday and announced that he will accept the results of November’s election—under one condition.

Donald Trump: “I want to make a major announcement today. I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election, if I win.”

Trump’s remarks came one day after the final presidential debate, when he refused to say if he will accept the election results. President Obama and other political leaders have sharply criticized Trump’s remarks.

President Barack Obama: “That is dangerous, because when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people’s minds about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy.”
