Joe Biden, assuming that he would win the November presidential election, assured Wednesday that his Republican rival Donald Trump “would not accept” the result of the election, as for that of 2020.

“He might not accept the outcome of the election. I assure you that he will not accept it” and it is “dangerous”, said the American president in an interview with CNN.
“It is not possible to love your country only when you win,” said the 81-year-old Democrat.
“If everything is conducted honestly, I will gladly accept the results,” Donald Trump said last week, interviewed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “But if this is not the case, then we will have to fight for the good of the country.”
Joe Biden also assured that former Democratic President Barack Obama, involved in his campaign, had advised him to “continue doing” what he was already doing.
The American press recently reported Barack Obama’s supposed reservations about the campaign led by his former vice-president, who polls show are neck and neck with Donald Trump in voting intentions, or even behind him in certain decisive states.
“I am happy with the trajectory of the campaign,” assured the American president, for whom “most people will only concentrate and make their decision this fall.”
Donald Trump never conceded defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
“How many court cases has he lost?” said the American president, in reference to his rival’s attempts to contest certain local counts.
“This guy is not a supporter of democracy,” said Joe Biden.
He praised the efforts made on the ground by his campaign teams to reach voters “by knocking on doors”, “the old-fashioned way”.
Donald Trump “has never succeeded in creating jobs, while I have never failed. I created 15 million jobs,” said Joe Biden, when asked about opinion polls according to which Americans trust his opponent more in economic matters.
“Our economy is the strongest in the world,” said Joe Biden.
He also affirmed, as he often does, that during the international summits in which he participates, the majority of foreign leaders tell him: “You must win.”
