US President Joe Biden expressed concerns about the peacefulness of the upcoming November elections, citing inflammatory comments by Republican candidate Donald Trump. Biden’s warning comes amid lawmakers’ and analysts’ concerns over escalating campaign rhetoric.
Trump’s refusal to accept his 2020 defeat and allegations of widespread fraud led to pro-Trump rioters storming the Capitol. Biden stated, “I’m confident it will be free and fair. I don’t know whether it will be peaceful.” He criticized Trump’s comments as “very dangerous.”
Trump faces indictment over alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election. He has been accused of inciting insurrection and using violent rhetoric. Biden joined critics in condemning Trump’s language.
The 2024 election is crucial, with swing states like Georgia and Michigan holding significant importance. Trump is set to campaign in Georgia, while Vice President Kamala Harris will rally in Michigan, accusing Trump of being a “union-buster.”
Harris will also visit Flint, highlighting government mismanagement and disproportionate damage to poor and non-white communities. Former President Barack Obama will stump for Harris in key swing states starting next week.
