He's been outspoken about the Democrats' decision to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris, referring to it as a «coup» and suggesting that the results are already predetermined.

In addition, he said that he would only accept the election results if he thought that «everything's honest,» implying that he was prepared to contest the results if he had second thoughts, as per the reports of MSN.
