Biden on power transfer if Trump loses: There will be bloodbath

United States President Joe Biden has warned that he is "not confident" of a peaceful transfer if Donald Trump loses the presidential elections, poised to take place later this year. Trump's statement stems from the Republican nominee's remark suggesting the only way he'd lose is if the election is stolen from him.

“If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said in an interview with CBS News. He then corrected himself saying: "I mean, if Trump loses, I’m not confident at all. He means what he says, we don’t take him seriously, he means it — all the stuff about if we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath, it will have to be a stolen election.”

Trump had warned in March that if he lost the elections this year, it would be a "bloodbath" for the US auto industry and the country. The Biden faction quickly leapt on the comment claiming the former president was inciting political violence.
