What If Donald Trump Loses US Elections

Much of the outside world's focus during the 2024 US election has been on what victory for Donald Trump might look like, but many Americans are fretting about the opposite outcome -- including some of his most vocal opponents.

The Republican ex-president, who is in a dead heat with Democrat Kamala Harris in the race for the White House, has never acknowledged the legitimacy of his election defeats -- from the 2016 Iowa primary to his presidential contest in 2020.

His denialism deeply polarized the country last time around, and his continued attempts to sow distrust in US democracy have sparked fears of a repeat of the violence seen during the 2021 storming of the US Capitol.
