Trump had earlier warned of 'bloodshed' if he did not win the election. During a campaign event in Ohio, Trump emphasized the need to protect the US auto industry from foreign competition.

President Joe Biden said he does not believe there will be a peaceful transfer of power in the United States if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump loses the November 5 presidential election. “If Trump loses, I don't believe at all,” Biden said in an interview with CBS News when asked if there would be a peaceful transfer of power after the vote. “He means what he says. We don't take him seriously. It has meaning. If we lose on all of these things, there will be bloodshed,” Biden added.

Trump has faced legal challenges in Washington DC and Georgia for trying to overturn the election results by falsely claiming victory over Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

In a recent interview, Biden made his first public appearance since withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race under pressure from fellow Democrats following a lackluster debate performance against Trump. After dropping out of the presidential race, there were concerns about his age and health. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who won the Democratic nomination after withdrawing.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will join her on the ticket as a running mate, and together, they will face Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, in the Nov. 5 general election.
