President Donald Trump says he won’t declare victory in the 2020 election if it appears he’s ahead late on Nov. 3, although he signaled that he and his lawyers will be prepared to file legal challenges if there are signs of fraud.

A report published over the weekend, citing three anonymous sources, claimed Trump plans to declare victory on election night if he appears to be ahead.
