During a recent interview, President Biden shared his apprehensions about the possibility of a peaceful transfer of power if former President Trump were to lose the upcoming election. Biden expressed his lack of confidence in the matter, citing concerns stemming from the events of the Capitol Hill riots in 2020.
Biden emphasized the seriousness of Trump's statements regarding potential unrest in the event of his defeat, highlighting the need to take such remarks seriously. He pointed out efforts to influence vote counting processes in local election districts as a cause for alarm, underscoring the importance of upholding democratic principles regardless of electoral outcomes.
The reference to a potential 'bloodbath' made by Trump earlier this year in relation to economic consequences further underscored the tense political climate surrounding the upcoming election.
The full interview is scheduled to be broadcast this Sunday on 'Sunday Morning,' marking Biden's first public appearance since announcing his decision not to seek re-election over two weeks ago. Notably, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden endorsed as his successor, has refrained from conducting interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee.
Biden's decision to step back from the race followed criticism of his performance in debates, leading to concerns among Democrats about their electoral prospects. In response, Harris recently announced her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, setting the stage for a showdown against Trump and his VP pick, Sen. JD Vance, in the upcoming election.
