President Joe Biden expressed concerns on Wednesday about the potential for a peaceful transition of power if former President Donald Trump were to lose in the upcoming election. Biden highlighted remarks made by Trump, suggesting that the only scenario in which he would be defeated is if the election were stolen from him.
Biden stated in an interview that he lacked confidence in a smooth transition if Trump were to be defeated. He emphasized the seriousness of Trump's statements, indicating that there could be unrest if the election results were not in his favor.
Michigan Representative Debbie Dingell echoed Biden's sentiments, expressing her agreement with his apprehensions. Dingell voiced worries about the acceptance of election results, particularly if the outcome was closely contested. She reassured that such concerns were less prevalent within the Democratic party.
Earlier in the year, Trump had made ominous predictions about the consequences of a potential loss in the 2024 election, raising alarms about the impact on the auto industry and the nation as a whole. Biden and his campaign swiftly condemned Trump's remarks, accusing him of inciting political violence.
Biden also cautioned that Trump appeared to be gearing up to challenge the election results once again, drawing parallels to his actions following the 2020 election. There were concerns that Trump might seek to influence local election officials to support his claims of electoral fraud.
