US President Joe Biden fears another "bloodbath" like in 2021, if Donald Trump were to lose the next election in November.
The President of the United States made this statement during the first interview given since his withdrawal from the race for a second term.
"I am not at all convinced - he told CBS in an interview that will be broadcast on Sunday and for which some predictions have been made - that if Trump loses, there will be a peaceful transfer of power. He was serious when he talked about a bloodbath in case of defeat, but you can't love your country only when you win."
The reference is to the threat that Trump launched during a rally in Ohio in March, when he spoke of a "bloodbath" if the result of the election in November is different from his victory. That passage caused worried reactions from Democrats, while Trump later clarified that he was referring to the economic situation, but the issue remains controversial, even as many Trump supporters continue to threaten civil war if liberals win again.
But during the interview, Biden made another small gaffe. He responded to a question about a peaceful transition by first saying "if Trump wins" there will be no peaceful transition, before correcting himself to say "if Trump loses".
The message comes at a time when, in reality, enthusiasm among Democrats is at its peak after months of doubts and negative polls. The campaign of Kamala Harris, who took office from Biden only on July 21, announced the collection of $ 36 million in the first twenty-four hours after the announcement of her choice as vice president of the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz.
In July, considering that Harris became a presidential candidate in just the last ten days of the month, $310 million was raised, of which two hundred in the first seven days, a huge figure, considering that on average the campaign of the end of Trump and Biden collected between 300 and 400 million dollars, but in three months. / "La Repubblica"
