Summary: In a recent interview, Fox News host Chris Wallace asked President Donald Trump if he'd accept the Nov. 3 election results.

In his new book, "Will He Go: President Trump and the Looming Election Meltdown in 2020," Douglas explains why he's concerned about a close or contested election and the potential consequences if President Trump rejects electoral defeat. We’ll talk to Douglas about his book.
