0:51Now PlayingWhite House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sought to clarify President Donald Trump's comments from Wednesday evening during which he refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 election.
Speaking to reporters at the White House briefing Thursday, McEnany said repeatedly that “the president will accept the results of a free and fair election."
But she said Trump does want to “get rid of mass, mail-out voting," which he claims without evidence will lead to massive fraudulent ballots.
During a news conference Wednesday Trump said, “We’re going to have to see what happens,” responding to a question about committing to the results. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster."
By Thursday, McEnany maintained the president "will accept the will of the American people."
McEnany was also asked whether Trump has had any conversations with the family of Breonna Taylor, a day after a grand jury decided not to indict officers in Taylor's fatal shooting.
She said she's not aware of any conversation but that their "hearts go out to her family."
Asked what the president’s message is to Taylor’s family, McEnany said what happened is “a horrible tragedy" and that their hearts are also with the two police officers who were shot Wednesday night during protests in Louisville.
