Biden’s campaign criticized Trump for threatening America with a bloodbath if he lost the election.
The AP reported on Trump’s rally in Ohio:
If I’m not elected it will be a bloodbath. … It will be a bloodbath for the country,” he warned of the impact of offshoring on the country’s auto industry and his plans to raise tariffs on foreign-made cars.
Later, Trump stated that: “If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure there will ever be another election in this country.”
The Biden campaign responded to Trump when spokesman James Singer said, “This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beaten by over 7 million votes and then, instead of appealing to a broader mainstream audience, doubles down his threats of political violence. He wants another January 6, but the American people will give him another electoral defeat this November because he continues to reject his extremism, his affection for violence and his thirst for revenge.”

Biden’s campaign had the perfect response to Trump’s threats. Donald Trump is threatening America because he is the one being threatened. Trump’s business empire has collapsed. The former president’s freedom is in danger and he could become a convicted felon.
Donald Trump knows he cannot win a free and fair election, so he is trying to scare the American people into supporting him.
Trump is a threat. He is a threat to democracy, freedom and national security, but these are threats Republicans never want to discuss.
