Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would accept results of the November 8 general election only if there is a "fair outcome", his son Eric said on Saturday.

"Listen, if it's a fair outcome, he will absolutely accept it. There's no question about it," Eric Trump told ABC News in an interview.

The answer came in the context of his father refusing to commit that he would accept results of the elections, which he has been alleging may be rigged.

"I think what my father is saying is I want a fair election. I want a fair election. You see the media pile on; 94 per cent of all contributions that have gone to the campaigns have gone to the Hillary campaign from the media, meaning when the media donates their money, 94 per cent of that has gone to the Clinton campaign," he said.

"We've gotten less than 6 percent of it. I mean, you see this bias, right, and you see these numbers. You see, again, two million people that are dead, that are on the voter rolls in the various states," he said, adding that there are 24 million voters whose information is inaccurate.

He claimed that Trump's campaign has been attracting thousands of people to his events.

Eric claimed his father is an amazing fighter and what he's already accomplished is nothing short of remarkable.

"He's fought maybe the greatest political machine in the history of the world, which, one that you obviously know better than anyone. He's fought, quite frankly, the entire mainstream media, who is always, counted him out, never thought he could do this, who's always put him down whether it be the primaries or now. He's fought super PAC money the likes of which has never been seen before," he said.

"He stands up for himself. He's a fighter. That's who my father is. And he — and quite frankly, he's a great fighter. And, you know, he believes in calling out right and wrong," Eric said.
