HE IS PUSHING TO GET A
CONFIRMATION VOTE BEFORE THE
NOVEMBER ELECTION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS.
WILL YOU COMMITTED TO MAKE
SURE THERE IS A PEACEFUL
TRANSFER OF POWER AFTER THE
ELECTION?
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Reporter: PEOPLE ARE RIOTING
.
THERE WILL BE A TRANSFER,
THERE WON'T BE A TRANSFER,
QUITE FRANKLY.
THERE WILL BE A CONTINUATION.
LET'S BEGIN WITH THE
PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE YESTERDAY.
WE WILL HAVE A FREE AND FAIR
ELECTION THERE WILL BE A
PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.
BE REACHED OUT TO SENATOR RICK
SCOTT ABOUT THIS.
WE ARE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.
Reporter: WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN
TODAY WERE SEVERAL PROMINENT
LAWMAKERS, YES, THE TIME-
HONORED TRADITION IN THE UNITED
STATES OF A PEACEFUL TRANSITION
OF POWER.
DURING A WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING,
THE PRESIDENT SUGGESTED THAT HE
WILL NOT ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
HE TRIED TO WALK THAT BACK A
LITTLE BIT TODAY.
THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT
CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN ELECTION DAY
AND ANYTHING GETTING TO THE
SUPREME COURT.
THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO
DELAY THE GROUNDWORK.
EVEN THOUGH TODAY, HIS OWN FBI
DIRECTOR, SAYS HE DOES NOT SEE
ANY SORT OF WIDESPREAD VOTER OR
BALLOT FRAUD IN THE UPCOMING
ELECTION.
REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF
POWER, WILL IT IMPACT THE
CAMPAIGN?
Reporter: IT SHIFTS THE
CONVERSATION AWAY FROM THE
PRESIDENT'S SUPREME COURT PICK.
THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE HIM
HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT, BACK INTO
THE FOLD, IT PUTS INTO
CONVERSATION THE PRESIDENT'S
RESPECT FOR LAW.
THE PRESIDENT MAY NOW TRY TO
PAVE IT TO BRING ATTENTION BACK
INTO SUPREME COURT NOMINEE WHO
HE INTENDS TO ANNOUNCE ON
SATURDAY.
BUT SATURDAY IS AN UNUSUAL
DECISION.
I AM TOLD HE WANTS TO GET THE
DECISION OUT BEFORE THE NEXT
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON TUESDAY.
THERE IS A LOCAL JUDGE,
BARBARA LAGOA, WHO IS A NOMINEE
.
Reporter: THIS MOMENT WAS SO
FOR SO MANY REASONS. IT IS A
RARE THAT THE PRESIDENT COMES
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THOSE WHO
OPPOSE HIM.
MANY OF THEM OPENLY OPPOSE THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS DESIRE TO
REPLACE HER.
SO, WHEN HE ARRIVES THERE, IT
WAS REMARKABLE.
HE AND THE FIRST LADY WERE BOTH
WEARING MASKS.
YOU COULD HEAR PROTESTERS
CHANTING, VOTE HIM OUT.
VOTE HIM OUT.
HE VERY RARELY IN A SITUATION
WHERE HE COMES THAT CLOSE IN
CONTACT WITH PROTESTERS.
YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE AUDIO.
HE SAID HE COULDN'T HEAR WHAT
THEY WERE CHANTING THAT'S
POSSIBLE GIVEN THE ACOUSTICS
WHERE HE WAS AT THE SUPREME
