October 5 :
Joe Biden expressed his doubts about the likelihood of a peaceful US election in November, referencing the divisive remarks made by Republican candidate Donald Trump, who continues to deny his loss in 2020. Before the vote, politicians and experts were growing increasingly concerned about the increasingly combative campaign rhetoric, which prompted Biden to issue a caution.
Angry pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol in response to Trump's baseless accusations, and the president, who escaped an assassination attempt in July and another apparent plot in September, blamed Biden's defeat on widespread fraud. I have faith it will be an impartial and free process. Biden told reporters that he was unsure if the election would 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." In 2021, after hundreds of Trump supporters—who had been urged by the defeated Republican to "fight like hell"—battered police while smashing windows and breaking through doors at the Capitol, the president was impeached for instigating the rebellion.
The violence that followed his indictment was allegedly the result of a "private criminal effort" to undermine the election. Trump has been under fire for a long time for his aggressive statements; on Saturday, he will return to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of his first assassination attempt.
While his vice president, Kamala Harris, is fighting Trump, Biden made his remarks at his inaugural appearance in the White House briefing room, where he praised the accomplishments of his administration. The states that will determine the winner of the presidential election were being canvassed by both Harris and Trump at the same time.
"We should get elected, but remember this, they cheat like hell," Trump stated during his campaign stop in North Carolina on Friday, before reiterating his allegations of voter fraud in 2020. Georgia, a swing state that Trump won in 2016 after narrowly claiming it four years ago, was also on his itinerary. The state is considered one of the most prized possessions on the 2024 election map.
After losing to Joe Biden in 2020, the Republican became heavily involved in Georgia politics, urging state officials to "find" enough votes to reverse Biden's victory. State prosecutors have accused 78-year-old Trump with racketeering; the case is currently on hold but will likely resume after the election. That he has done anything wrong is his position.
Following a briefing on the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, the deadliest hurricane to strike the US mainland since Katrina in 2005, Trump and Republican Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia met on October 4th. Trump has erroneously claimed that Harris has diverted rescue funds to help migrants, and he has circulated incorrect information about the federal response to the catastrophe on multiple occasions.
On October 4, Harris held a rally in Michigan, a union stronghold that exemplified the US manufacturing downturn in the 1980s; she is currently tied with Trump in all seven swing states. The Democratic candidate stated that Trump was putting Michigan auto jobs at risk.
"This guy has never battled for anyone but himself. In her remarks made at a Detroit stop, she characterized the individual as having spent his entire career undermining unions. Following this, in Flint, Michigan, Clinton called Trump "one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history."
Government mismanagement and the disproportionate impact on low-income and non-white neighborhoods were brought to light during the lead water crisis in the 2010s in the city of Flint, which is primarily Black. She brought to the attention of the rallygoers the fact that early voting has started in multiple states and that the election is in exactly one month.
"Everyone, the election has arrived. Awaken, organize, and mobilize, Harris admonished. Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States, will be stumping for her in Pennsylvania and other swing states beginning next week, according to her team. She is trying to win over hesitant voters in the Midwest.
