Rep. Adam Schiff and President Joe Biden have expressed concerns about the upcoming election being peaceful if it is close and if former President Donald Trump loses. Schiff believes that Trump may contest the election results because he fears legal consequences if he loses. Biden has also expressed uncertainty about the peacefulness of the election. Schiff pointed to the violence that occurred after the 2020 election, attributing it to Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud. He emphasized the importance of a large margin of victory to prevent challenges to the election results. Schiff expressed confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris winning the election but acknowledged that it is still a close race. He urged for a strong voter turnout to ensure a clear victory and reduce the likelihood of violence. The legacy of Trump’s false claims about the election has created a lack of confidence in the peacefulness of election results. Republicans are expected to challenge the results if they lose, making it crucial to have a significant margin of victory to prevent further unrest. Schiff’s remarks highlight the importance of ensuring a fair and peaceful election process.
