‭Trump announced his candidacy for the 2016 election in June 2015.‬‭[114]‬‭[115]‬‭He became the Republican front-runner in March‬

‭2016‬‭[116]‬‭and was declared the presumptive Republican nominee in May.‬‭[117]‬‭His campaign statements were often‬‭opaque and‬

‭suggestive,‬‭[118]‬‭and a record number were false.‬‭[119]‬‭[120]‬‭[121]‬‭He gained support based on his "outsider" status and lack of‬

‭political experience,‬‭[122]‬‭[123]‬‭[124]‬‭and was highly‬‭critical of media coverage, frequently making claims of‬‭media bias‬‭.‬‭[125]‬‭[126]‬

‭Describing the loyalty of his supporters, Trump said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't‬

‭lose any voters".‬‭[127]‬‭Hillary Clinton‬‭led Trump in‬‭national polling averages‬‭throughout the campaign,‬‭but her lead narrowed in early‬

‭July.‬‭[128]‬‭In mid-July, he selected Indiana governor‬‭Mike Pence‬‭as his running mate,‬‭[129]‬‭and the two‬‭were officially nominated at‬

‭the‬‭2016 Republican National Convention‬‭.‬‭[130]‬‭Trump‬‭and Clinton participated in‬‭three presidential debates‬‭in September and October‬

‭2016. He twice refused to say whether he would accept the result of the election.‬‭[131]‬
