ALBAWABA - In a significant departure from the former president's customary tone of certain success, a recent internal memo from Donald Trump's presidential campaign suggests a new willingness to accept any result in the upcoming election.
As Trump's team prepares for the prospect of either winning or losing Tuesday's vote, the email, which was sent to campaign personnel last Friday, demonstrates a practical attitude.
The email used words like "if we win," "regardless of the election outcome," and "God willing," which imply that the campaign is open to both possibilities, according to a report by Axios. Trump's public remarks, which highlight his constant confidence in winning and are backed by some polls showing he is ahead of his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, contrast with this more realistic approach.
According to the Axios story, these internal exchanges could be setting the stage for possible legal action in the event that Trump loses the election. This is similar to the campaign's position in 2020, when he refused to accept that he had lost to Joe Biden.
In the email, campaign manager Susie Wiles explained that November 30 would be the last day of staff payroll regardless of the election's outcome, though some could move to positions on a possible transition team or inauguration committee in the event that Trump and running mate J.D. Vance were elected.
Caroline Leavitt, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, stressed in a statement that Wiles is professionally leading the team to guarantee a smooth transition to the White House, should Trump win.
