Biden on election outcome: "I'm confident it'll be free and fair; I don't know whether it will be peaceful"
President Joe Biden made a surprise appearance at the podium during the White House news briefing, where he answered a question on the upcoming November election.
A reporter asked Biden: “I’d like to know how you’re feeling about how this election is going. And then also, do you have confidence that it will be a free and fair election and that it will be peaceful?”
Biden responded: “Two separate questions. I’m confident it’ll be free and fair; I don’t know whether it will be peaceful.”
“The things that Trump has said and the things that he said last time out, when he didn’t like the outcome of the election, were very dangerous,” he continued.
Biden also referred to a moment during the vice presidential debate this week, when GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance was put on the spot by Democratic running mate Tim Walz during a discussion of the January 6, 2021, insurrection and former President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the 2020 election.
