In a surprising appearance during his first-ever press briefing as president, Joe Biden expressed his concerns regarding the potential for violence in the upcoming 2024 election. Despite his confidence that the election will be free and fair, Biden stated, 'I don’t know whether it will be peaceful,' emphasizing the influence of Trump's 'dangerous' comments on the electoral atmosphere. He warned that Trump's behavior could lead to a lack of peaceful concession if he were to lose. Biden's remarks follow a backdrop of increasing tension surrounding the election as he and Vice President Harris emphasized the importance of unions and the economy at various events.
