Ivanka Trump says father will concede election if defeated
NEW YORK — Ivanka Trump, arguably her father’s most influential surrogate, suggested Wednesday that the Republican nominee will honour the results of the election if he loses.
Asked at Fortune Magazine’s Most Powerful Women Summit in California whether her father would concede to Hillary Clinton if he loses, Ivanka Trump said Donald Trump is “in it to win it.”
“And of course I think my father will always do the right thing,” she said. “That’s the type of person he is.”
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the election is “rigged” against him, alleging without evidence that there is widespread voter fraud and a conspiracy between the political and media establishments to deny him the White House. And while he said he would honour the election result in his first debate against Hillary Clinton last month, he has since waffled on that vow.
