The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced the likely end of US democracy if he loses the November election. “If we don’t win this election, I don’t think there will be another election in this country,” the 77-year-old said at a rally in the state of Ohio. The upcoming presidential election on November 5th is the “most important date” in US history.
The ex-president warned of a “bloodbath” if he did not win the election. However, it was unclear exactly what he meant by the remark, as he had previously discussed risks for the US auto industry in his speech.
Referring to China’s alleged plans to build cars in Mexico and then sell them in the United States, Trump said: “They won’t be able to sell these cars if I’m elected.” Then he added: “If I don’t get elected, there will be a bloodbath overall, that will be the least, it will be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least. But they won’t sell these cars.”
Biden’s team condemns threat of “political violence”
The US President’s campaign team Joe Biden condemned Trump’s “bloodbath” comment. Campaign spokesman James Singer criticized the Republican for “extremism.” The loser of the 2020 election is again threatening “political violence.” “He wants another January 6th, but the American people will hand him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his propensity for violence and his thirst for revenge,” the statement said, referring to the Storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The Republican Trump and the Democrat Biden have now secured the necessary delegate votes in their parties’ primaries to be sent back into the race in the presidential election on November 5th. Almost eight months before the US presidential election, incumbent Biden and challenger Trump are almost equally popular with voters.
