US President Joe Biden is uncertain whether the elections on November 5 will proceed peacefully, according to ABC News.
He specifically expressed concern, citing recent comments from Donald Trump and JD Vance.
"I'm confident it will be free and fair. I don't know whether it will be peaceful," Biden said.
According to him, Trump did not like the results last time, which led to the Capitol being stormed. Vance, Trump’s running mate, also did not confirm he would accept the 2024 election results.
"So, I am concerned about what they're going to do," Biden added.
What Vance said
During this week's debate with his Democratic opponent, Vance was reminded of his comments that if he had been vice president in early 2021, he would not have certified the election results and would have asked states to submit alternative elector lists.
CBS moderators asked if he would also contest the 2024 election if all governors signed off on the results.
"Look, what President Trump has said is that there were problems in 2020, and my own belief is that we should fight about those issues, debate those issues peacefully in the public square," he replied.
This led to a verbal clash with Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, who directly asked Vance if he believed Trump lost the election.
"Tim, I’m focused on the future," Vance evasively responded.
It is worth noting that new evidence recently emerged in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into election interference. According to prosecutors, Trump engaged in illegal actions to overturn his defeat in 2020.
Trump has called these claims an interference in the current election and continues to deny any wrongdoing.
