Biden gave his first interview since the election campaign exit – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

Trump’s previous presidency was rounded off by his supporters storming Congress on January 6, 2021. This year he promised a “bloodbath” if he does not win the election. The comment came when he was talking about car imports. Trump has later said that he will accept an election defeat if the election is “fair” – which he believes the 2020 election was not. There is no evidence for this. President Joe Biden believes there is good reason to fear unrest if Trump now loses the election to Kamala Harris in November. – He means what he says, but we don’t take him seriously, Biden said recently in an interview with CBS News.

All this stuff about “If we lose, it’s going to be a bloodbath,” Biden continues. The interview was the first Biden has given since he withdrew from the election campaign three weeks ago and Vice President Kamala Harris suddenly became the Democrats’ presidential candidate.

But parts of it have already been published. It was in March that Trump announced the death of American democracy if he loses the election in November. – If we don’t win this election, I don’t think there will be another election in this country, Trump said.

Spokesperson for the Trump campaign, Steven Sheung later elaborated to The Washington Post: – If you actually see and listen to what he said, he was talking about the auto industry and tariffs. Biden’s policies are going to lead to an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto industry workers, Cheung said. Trump has also emphasized that he was talking about car imports: – The media pretends to be shocked by my use of the word bloodbath, even though they fully understood that I was simply talking about car imports, Trump said in a message on his social media website Truth Social. – Make America Laugh Again Biden’s interview takes place at the same time that Kamala Harris and her recently appointed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz are seriously embarking on the election campaign. They have a bad time. The election is in just under three months. Several things indicate that they may have chosen a new strategy. One characterized by smiles, laughter and jokes. “Make America Laugh Again,” a spin on Trump’s “Make America Great Again,” has become an unofficial slogan of the Harris-Walz campaign, adorning t-shirts and baseball caps alike. A clip of Tim Walz, known as a good-natured and down-to-earth former high school teacher, went viral a few weeks ago. In the clip, Walz refers to Trump and his vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, who are both known for controversial statements, as “weird”. – These are strange people, said Walz. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were in good spirits at a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

In the interview with CBS, he said that he is not confident that a peaceful takeover of power will be achieved if Trump loses in November, as was not the case after Trump’s previous election defeat in 2020. Biden also questioned Trump’s genuine love for the United States: – You can don’t love your country only when you win. Interested in abroad?
