Former US national security advisor John Bolton and Senator Bernie Sanders have said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will declare himself winner early. The statements come as US went into Election Day (Nov 5) to elect the next president. Bolton, while answering a question on BBC Newsnight, said 'of course, not' when asked if Trump will accept the loss. “I’m predicting between 9 and 10 o’clock, he’ll announce that he’s won and hope that the states in the West — Arizona, Nevada, where polls will still be open — might be susceptible to what he has to say,” Bolton said.

Trump has already cried malfeasance about the election and accused Pennsylvania of cheating last week. “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!” Trump wrote on Truth Social last week. The US election 2020 results ultimately led to protesters storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021—two months after the election and Trump being voted out of power. Keeping the situation in mind, the stores and businesses in the capital city of Washington D.C. have put up plywood planks in anticipation of another riot if Trump loses.
