Biden Says Trump Will Not Accept 2024 Result: ‘I Promise You He Won’t’
“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” the president told CNN's Erin Burnett.

President Joe Biden said in an interview Wednesday he is all but certain Donald Trump, his predecessor and presumptive 2024 rival, will reject the results of the November election and called Trump “dangerous” for the nation.
“The guy is not a democrat with a small d,” Biden told CNN’s Erin Burnett during a visit to Wisconsin this week.
“How many court cases do they have, Supreme Court cases? They’ve all said this is a totally legitimate election. ... He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t. Which is dangerous.”
The president went on to say other world leaders had expressed to him their fear of a second Trump presidency and pointed to Trump’s pledge to prosecute his political opponents if he enters the Oval Office once more.
You're viewing a single thread.
He won in 2016 and he still didn't accept the result. He spent months insisting that the elections were rigged to prevent him from getting even larger margins, and then he turned the DOJ inside-out to pursue years of "election fraud" investigations intent on keeping a large Republican majority into 2018 (which failed anyway when his fickle white base turned on him).
Of course, Bush pulled the same shit during his time in office, running cover via his own DOJ for dozens of state gerrymandering campaigns (the Texas Gerrymander of 2005 stacked the deck for permanent Republican majority into the modern day). And Reagan pulled this shit via his captured Civil Rights Division before that. And Nixon before that.
When Trump wins in 2024, it will suck again. But it won't suck uniquely. This is an age-old fight, between a caged/disenfranchised popular majority and a wealthy manipulative white nationalist minority.
Bush and Reagan didn't lead insurrections. Roger Stone had a little putsch on Bush's behalf, sure. But Bush did not send a mob of delusional cultists to hang his own VP.
I don't think Bush or Reagan sold state secrets or lists of CIA agents to foreign adversaries either.
He had the supreme court do it for him
Right so Repubs have slid from faux legal and indirect violence to fully illegal and directly violent. IDK how many more votes we'll be allowed to cast if they are able to continue. I just want to make the distinction there. It is not the same.
don't forget that they did drum up a riot in order to buy scotus time to make sure that votes weren't counted
I have absolutely no recollection of that. Is it 5his? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot
Yeah, it's totally not treasonous to tell Iran to hold on to hostages until after his election to undermine Carter.
