Rep. Adam Schiff says Trump 'will contest' election results if he loses

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday echoed President Joe Biden’s remarks last week that the upcoming election would be “free and fair,” but maybe not “peaceful.”
“If it is close, if [former President] Donald Trump loses again, as I expect that he will, he will contest it,” Schiff told moderator Kristen Welker on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “He has more reason to contest it than he did before, not because of any flaw in the election, but because Donald Trump believes, and perhaps with reason, that if he doesn’t succeed at the ballot box, he may be going to jail. So he’s going to challenge the results.”
His comments follow remarks from Biden at the White House press briefing room on Friday, in which the president told reporters he was confident that the upcoming election “will be free and fair” but didn’t know “whether it will be peaceful.” “What the president said was all too accurate — shockingly, breathtakingly, tragically accurate — and that is yes, I think the election will be free and fair, but will it be free of violence at the end of the day?” Schiff said Sunday.
Schiff pointed to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol as an example of the violence that unfolded in the wake of Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
