Donald J. Trump plans to hold a “general news conference” on Thursday afternoon at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago, the first such event he has held in months.

Mr. Trump announced the event on his website, Truth Social, on Thursday morning.

    I think if Trump was projected to lose by an embarrassing margin - I’m talking like 75-25 - he might prefer trying to weasel out of having a legitimate devastating loss on official record. That’s not happening though with how big his base is, and with the electoral college being the way it is he is still probably favoured to win - though yes the polls are slipping.

    Regardless, I can’t see him dropping out now.

      No way. Trump would just use that as “proof” that the election was rigged. In his mind there is no way people wouldn’t vote him into office, so any scenario where he loses, his narcissism would force him to claim there was election malfeasance .
