Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has mocked his much-derided comment at the presidential debate that he might not accept the results of the election.
Trump kicked off a rally Thursday in Delaware, Ohio, by saying that he "would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supports and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election."
But he added: "If I win."
Trump is continuing to raise concerns about the integrity of the election, despite a lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud in the country.
Trump says he won't commit to honoring the results of November's election because he wants to reserve his right to file a legal challenge "in the case of a questionable result."
Trump, speaking in Ohio on Thursday, said "of course I would accept a clear election result."
But he stressed that he was not sure he would receive one, citing misleading statistics on voter fraud.
He alleged without evidence that Hillary Clinton's campaign was trying to rig the election.
Trump made the unprecedented assertion during the final presidential debate Wednesday.
Asked if he would concede if he loses the election, Trump said, "I will look at it at the time."
