The President of the United States expressed his concerns to journalists this Friday, October 4. “I’m worried about what they’re going to do,” he said, referring to Donald Trump and the Republicans.
In a month, Americans will elect their future president. But the election arouses fears among the current tenant of the Oval Office. Joe Biden expressed concern this Friday, October 4, about the risk that the vote would not be “peaceful”, due to the behavior of Republican candidate Donald Trump.
“The things that Trump said and the things he said last time when he didn’t like the result of the election were very dangerous,” warned the American president.
“So I’m worried about what they’re going to do,” during the vote, he said during an impromptu exchange with journalists in the White House press room.
The November 5 election, pitting Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris against former Republican leader Donald Trump, promises to be as indecisive as it is tense. As the vote approaches, illustrations of an American society on edge are omnipresent. The electoral centers of the most contested counties, targets of high tensions four years ago, have turned into fortresses, protected by wrought iron fences and metal detectors.
Donald Trump returns to Butler
The certification of the results of the presidential election at the Capitol, the scene on January 6, 2021 of an attack by unleashed Trumpists, will this time be supervised by the highest level of security possible for an official event. The fear is that, once again, the vote will be so close that it will take not hours, but days to declare a winner.
Donald Trump, who never admitted his defeat in 2020, has already laid the first stones of a new protest, accusing meeting after meeting the Democrats of “cheating like hell”.
The Republican candidate also attributed the second assassination attempt of which he was the victim to the “rhetoric” of his opponents, while the Democrats accuse him, on the contrary, of being the instigator of a political climate that is sometimes unbreathable.
The septuagenarian Republican will also return on Saturday to the scene of the first assassination attempt, where he narrowly escaped being shot by a shooter in July, in the town of Butler in Pennsylvania, for a new campaign meeting. His team has already announced the presence of a distinguished guest: Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, owner of X, Tesla, and even SpaceX.
Before that, Donald Trump was in Georgia on Friday, a state hard hit by Hurricane Helene which left more than 200 dead in the United States. During this trip, he accused the White House of “terrible” management of the crisis.
Kamala Harris supported by Barack Obama
Kamala Harris is in Michigan, a key state in the Great Lakes region and symbol of industrial decline in the United States from the 1980s. The Democratic candidate began her trip to the large city of Detroit, cradle of the American automobile industry, where she wants to strengthen her image as a pro-union candidate.
While the working electorate was traditionally favorable to the Democrats, Donald Trump has succeeded since his entry onto the political scene in 2015 in attracting the favors of many of its members.
To try to slow down this exodus, Kamala Harris will be able to benefit from strong support in the coming weeks in the person of Barack Obama. Still very popular, the first black president in the history of the United States will go on the ground in several key states until the vote on November 5, the campaign team of the Democratic vice-president announced on Friday.
In Michigan, Kamala Harris will also make a stop in Flint. According to CNN, she will meet local leaders from the Arab and Muslim communities, many of whose members are angry at Joe Biden’s United States’ unwavering support for Israel. This electorate played a major role in helping Joe Biden win in 2020 in Michigan, and should weigh heavily again on November 5.
