US Fears of Violence After Elections Amid High Early Voting Turnout
As the US presidential election approaches, many Americans fear potential violence after the results are announced, especially if Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump loses and possibly refuses to concede, similar to his actions when President Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
Trump has refused to say whether he would accept the upcoming election results unconditionally. In his latest remarks, he reiterated through the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel his claims of having won Wisconsin during the 2020 elections.
The campaign of Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris denounced Trump’s statements, affirming, “You cannot love your country only when you win.” They noted that Trump “promises to govern as a dictator from day one” if elected, citing his threats to “use the military against the American people and punish those who stand against him.”
