Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says his 'single greatest concern' is US President Donald Trump will try to 'steal' the November election.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he worries President Donald Trump will try to"steal" the November election but he is confident soldiers would escort him from the White House if he loses and doesn't recognise the result.
Mr Trump has repeatedly attacked voting by mail, proclaiming without evidence that the expected increase in mail-in voting would lead to widespread fraud in the 3 November contest.Mr Biden said recent comments by former senior military officials criticising Mr Trump's response to nationwide protests over police brutality made him confident the US military would intervene if Mr Trump refused to accept the election results.
Mr Trump's re-election campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr Trump and his Republican allies say mail voting is prone to fraud and favours Democrats, even as numerous independent studies have found little evidence of either claim.During the 2016 presidential election campaign, Mr Trump refused to say during a final debate with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton that he would concede if Ms Clinton won.
A growing number of former senior military leaders have criticised the president over his handling of the civil unrest following the 25 May killing of George Floyd, a black man whose death in custody of the Minneapolis police set off protests for police reform and racial justice.Nancy Pelosi urges Confederate statues be removed as Donald Trump rules out renaming US bases
