Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden was amused by the announcement of his opponent in the US presidential election, Donald Trump, about his refusal to commit himself to a peaceful transfer of power in case of defeat.
“I was amused by this. I asked which country are we in? Look, he says the most irrational things. I do not know what to say, “- quotes the words of Biden The Hill.
Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump, at a White House press conference, dodged a direct answer to the question of whether he would guarantee a peaceful transfer of power after the presidential elections in November, while expressing confidence in his victory there. The American leader also recalled that earlier he had expressed his dissatisfaction with the voting process, which, according to him, had gone out of control, and called it “a complete disaster.”
Trump said on September 17 that Americans will never know the exact results of the US presidential election this year due to the indiscriminate mailing of ballots.
In this regard, Trump called on stop the distribution of ballots before it is too late, and conduct voting, as before, at polling stations.
Nevertheless, the Democrats are in favor of the procedure. The House of Representatives of Congress, where the Democratic Party has a majority, approved a law on the work of the post office on August 22. The bill would ban the postal service from changing its operations and service levels – including to prevent US leader Donald Trump from obstructing the process.
The US presidential election is due November 3, 2020.
