A new video clip shows President Joe Biden claiming that he is “not confident at all” in a peaceful transfer of power after the November election.
During an interview with Robert Costa, a CBS News host, Biden expressed his doubts regarding a peaceful transition of power after his term in the White House ends in January. A short video from the interview was released on Wednesday prior to the full release of the interview, which will air on “CBS Sunday Morning” this weekend.
The president, who dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in July after suffering a disastrous debate performance in June and facing pressure from top Democrats, claimed that Trump has threatened violence if he loses the November election. Biden’s warning came after he initially appeared to confuse his answer when Costa asked about the likelihood of a peaceful transition of power.

“If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said before correcting himself and 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 will be a bloodbath,” Biden added. “Look what they’re trying to do now. In the local election districts where people count the votes… they’re putting people in place in states where they’re gonna count the votes, right? You can’t love your country only when you win.”
The president’s suggestion that Trump has threatened a “bloodbath” of violence if he loses the 2024 election stems from the corporate media’s false claim that Trump was promoting political violence when he was discussing challenges the American automobile industry faced due to China during a campaign rally.
Trump warned that there would be an economic “bloodbath” due to the negative impact he believed a potential Republican loss in the 2024 election could have on American industries, such as car manufacturers.
