Trump is now again regularly raising doubts about the fairness of the 2024 election — about once a day, according to an analysis by The New York Times published Friday.

And if he should win, of course there won't be any problem in him claiming it was fair and square, no matter how much doubt he throws on it now.
And the tactic is being copied by Republican senators vying to be his running mate or trying to appeal to the GOP base for their own reelection races.
Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who are said to be on Trump’s vice-presidential shortlist, have declined in nationally televised interviews to commit to accepting the election results.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), a possible VP pick in the GOP conference, said he would have declined to certify Biden’s victory in January 2021 if he was serving in the Senate at the time. He didn’t come to the upper chamber until January 2023.
Vance hedged slightly when asked recently whether he would commit to accepting the election results, qualifying his pledge to accept the results if the election is “free and fair.”
To be determined by who wins, of course.
"If it’s a free and fair election, I think every Republican will enthusiastically accept the results,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash. “And again, I think those results will show that Donald Trump has been elected president.”
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
