PANews reported on November 4 that on the morning of November 3rd local time, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump said in a telephone interview with ABC Washington Chief Correspondent Jonathan Karl that he was "far ahead" and predicted that the winner would be known on election night. According to reports, during the interview, Karl asked Trump if the former president thought he might lose the election. "Yes, I think, you know." Trump replied. "I guess I might lose. I mean, this kind of thing could happen, right?" But he turned and said: "But I think I have a clear lead, but you can also say, yes, you might lose. Bad things may happen. You know, things are always like this, but it will be interesting." As for when he will address the nation on the election results, Trump said: "I will appear at the appropriate time (on election day)."
