Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele recently offered his thoughts on former President Donald Trump’s reluctance to accept the outcome of the last presidential election and his concerns about the upcoming election in November. Steele believes Trump’s fear of losing stems from his ego and inability to accept defeat.
“Donald Trump is afraid of losing because it strikes at the core of what’s most important to him – his ego,” Steele said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” “He doesn’t want to put in the effort to win; instead, he tries to manipulate and bully people into believing his narrative about our electoral system because he’s too weak to campaign like a normal candidate.”

Steele’s comments came in response to an interview with Trump, who refused to commit to accepting the results of the upcoming election in Wisconsin, citing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
Trump claimed he would “gladly accept the results” if everything is “honest.” Steele countered, emphasizing that U.S. elections are secure and trustworthy. He pointed out that Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud and corruption in the 2020 election are unfounded and have been repeatedly debunked.
Steele also addressed Trump’s false claim that he won Wisconsin in 2020, which he made in an interview with The Milwaukee Journal.

Trump has consistently refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, even after the violent events of January 6, 2021. His reluctance to commit to accepting the results of the upcoming election has raised concerns about the integrity of the democratic process.
Steele emphasized that if Trump loses again, it will not be due to a rigged system but rather because more people voted against him than for him, and the electoral system confirms that. Steele’s comments highlight the ongoing debate about the integrity of the electoral process and the importance of accepting democratic outcomes.
