If he loses, he will challenge the outcome in the courts and perhaps beyond.

Trump has revived that warning: "If you don't fight like hell, you won't have a country anymore" Violence is always possible, even likely, but scholars say violence need not derail the outcome.

Congress gets the final say — again, thanks to a law passed in 2022 , making it harder to challenge electoral votes.
