Biden Doubts Peaceful Transfer After Ending Bid

In his first interview since ending his re-election bid, President Joe Biden expressed doubts about a peaceful transfer of power if former President Donald Trump loses the 2024 election, citing Trump's past comments about potential violence and election fraud. Biden warned that Trump’s rhetoric could incite political violence and undermine democracy, referencing Trump's earlier statement that losing the election would result in a 'bloodbath.' Biden emphasized the importance of accepting election results and criticized Trump's refusal to concede in 2020, which led to the Capitol riots. This interview comes as Vice President Kamala Harris takes the Democratic nomination following Biden's withdrawal. Biden's concerns reflect the broader apprehension about the integrity of the upcoming election.
