President Joe Biden said in a new interview that he is “not at all confident” there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January if former President Donald Trump loses the election this fall.
“If Trump loses, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said when asked during one interview with CBS News if he was confident that power would be transferred peacefully in January 2025.
Biden also said in the clip that aired Wednesday night that people were not taking Trump’s previous comments about a “bloodbath” seriously.
“He’s serious, that whole thing that if we lose, there will be a bloodbath,” Biden said. “You can’t just love your country when you win.”
A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.
Trump said in March: “It will be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election in November. He made the observation when talking about economic policies.
The full interview with Biden is scheduled to air Sunday morning.
