Joe Biden Expresses Doubts Over Peaceful Transfer of Power
Biden's Concerns Over the 2025 Election
During a recent interview, Joe Biden expressed his concerns over the peaceful transfer of power in the 2025 election, particularly if Donald Trump were to lose. This came about during a conversation with CBS News host Robert Costa who asked Biden about his confidence in a smooth transition of power in 2025. Biden's response indicated his lack of confidence, especially if Trump were to lose the election.
Biden's Remarks on Trump's Election Rhetoric
Biden continued the conversation by referring to a story where Trump allegedly stated there would be a "bloodbath" in the streets if he didn't win the election. Biden criticized this rhetoric and expressed his belief that Trump was serious about his statements. He also criticized Republicans for recruiting more poll watchers, which he interprets as an attempt to steal the election.
Claims of a Potential "Civil War"
Biden's comments came shortly after Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) warned Democrats to prepare for "civil war conditions" if Trump were to be reelected and prevented from taking office by invoking the 14th Amendment. Raskin suggested that Democrats would need to stand firm against Trump supporters and prepare for potential conflict.
Democrats' Warnings of Civil War
The Democrats seem to be preparing the public for the possibility of civil unrest, regardless of the election's outcome. They suggest that if Trump wins, they will move to disqualify him under the 14th Amendment, potentially leading to civil war. Alternatively, they claim that if Trump loses, he could incite a civil war. This rhetoric suggests that both the current U.S. president and the Democrats believe a civil war could be on the horizon.
