In a recent press conference, US President Joe Biden expressed doubts about the peaceful nature of the upcoming November election, pointing to inflammatory remarks made by his opponent, Donald Trump. Trump, who still refuses to accept his defeat in the 2020 election, has been stoking fears of fraud and inciting violence among his supporters. The aftermath of the 2020 election saw Trump supporters storming the US Capitol in a violent insurrection.
Biden emphasized the importance of a free and fair election, but raised concerns about the potential for unrest given Trump’s history of dangerous rhetoric. Despite facing impeachment for his role in inciting the Capitol riot, Trump continues to spread false claims of election fraud and push divisive narratives.
As the election draws closer, both candidates are focused on key battleground states, with Trump campaigning in North Carolina and Georgia, while Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, rallies in Michigan. The tone of the campaigns remains contentious, with each side accusing the other of jeopardizing American jobs and wellbeing. With tensions running high and early voting already underway, the stage is set for a fiercely contested election.
