Former Attorney General Eric Holder cast doubt on President Trump's chances at victory on Election Day, saying the only way Trump could win reelection is if his party doesn't play fair.

"[Trump] is trying to come up with a way in which he's going to be able to say that the election was stolen from him, that there was cheating or something like that," Holder told SiriusXM radio host Joe Madison on Tuesday. "The reality is, if you look at all the empirical evidence, if you look at the polls, the only way that I think that Trump is going to win is if the Republicans are successful in cheating."

Holder, a vocal Trump critic, served as the nation's first black attorney general under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2015 and coined himself the former president's "wingman."

Holder endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in March when Biden was competing against other Democratic contenders for the nomination.

In an interview with the Washington Post this spring, Holder said he believed Biden would continue the work the two embarked on during the Obama years, especially when it came to criminal justice reform.

Holder contemplated his own White House run in 2020 early last year.

In his Tuesday interview, the former top law enforcement officer criticized GOP-led efforts to request a federal court in Texas to discard almost 127,000 ballots that were cast by curbside voting.

On Monday, a federal judge rejected the last-minute bid by four Texas Republicans to throw out the ballots, which came from a Democratic-leaning country.

"They're prepared to do a whole bunch of things on a whole bunch of fronts," Holder said. "[Republicans] don't want to have an election that's truly fair. And that truly represents the desires of the people for change. That is what I hear as I have been all around the country."

National and state polls have largely shown Biden leading Trump through Tuesday. As polls opened on Election Day, over 100 million people had already cast an early ballot.
