"If Trump loses, I'm not sure about that," Biden said when asked if the transfer of power will be peaceful in January, when the new head of state is to be inaugurated in the United States.
"He means exactly what he says. We don't take him seriously. He means exactly what he says: all these words about how if he loses, there will be a bloodbath," Biden added.
Context
The presidential election in the country will be held on November 5. Biden was supposed to represent the Democratic Party, but after his disastrous performance in the June televised debate with Trump, he decided to withdraw from the race and supported Harris' nomination for the highest US office. Trump has been nominated as the Republican presidential candidate.
