NextImg:Far-Right British Lawmaker Has Thoughts On What Donald Trump Should Do If He Loses The Election
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Nigel Farage, a right-wing member of the British Parliament and a key figure in the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, has thoughts on what former President Donald Trump’s next move should be if he loses the U.S. presidential election.

Farage, who attended Trump’s Monday night rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, urged the former president to accept the results for the sake of U.S. democracy if a “clear” result is produced after Election Day.

“If it was clear and decisive then maybe it’s time [for Trump] to go and play golf at Turnberry,” he told The Telegraph in an interview, referring to the Trump Organization’s golf resort in Scotland.

The longtime Trump ally and leader of the right-wing populist Reform UK party also acknowledged having “huge doubts about election integrity,” calling the U.S. voting system “abhorrent.”

Still, Farage told the Telegraph, “I have never gone along with the stolen election narrative” that Trump and his followers pushed after the Republican’s 2020 loss. He stressed that another insurrection attempt like the one on Jan. 6, 2021, was not the answer.

“If it [the outcome] was clear, then Republicans have to accept the result,” Farage explained. “The whole point of voting is we don’t need to fight. It is what we fought two world wars for. We settle our differences with the ballot box.”

Farage, however, was quick to note that his thoughts were “all hypothetical,” adding: “I still think he is going to win.”

The British politician, who also attended the Republican National Convention in July, got a shout-out from Trump at Monday’s rally.

“He was the big winner of the last election in the U.K.,” Trump said, alluding to Farage’s July 5 victory after seven unsuccessful attempts at getting elected to the House of Commons. “He’s a little bit of a rebel, but that’s good. Don’t change, Nigel.”

Farage also suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris could dismiss the criminal charges against Trump if she wins as a way smooth over relations with staunch Republicans.

“If she gets in on Tuesday, I hope she pardons him,” he told The Telegraph. “She could look magnanimous and it would dampen down potential tensions.”
