But it was Mr. Trump’s remark about the election results that stood out, even in a race that has been full of astonishing moments.

Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races, such as when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960 and George W. Bush beat Al Gore in Florida to win the presidency in 2000.

Mr. Trump insisted, without offering evidence, that the general election has been rigged against him, and he twice refused to say that he would accept its result.

I’m not looking at anything now,” he said. “What I’ve seen, what I’ve seen, is so bad,” he added, cryptically, before saying the media had “poisoned the minds” of voters and hinting that millions of unregistered voters could fraudulently sway the outcome.
