According to Joe Biden, the Democratic party’s presidential candidate for November 3, Donald Trump could announce the postponement of the November 3 election to preserve his chances of winning.
"Remember what I tell you, I think he will try to postpone the elections in one way or another, find reasons why they cannot take place," said Joe Biden during an online fundraiser on Thursday. For the 77-year-old former US vice president, this is "the only way he thinks he can win."
A vote adapted to the coronavirus epidemic
With the Covid-19 pandemic that has caused 50,000 deaths and 26.4 million new unemployed in the United States, the road to victory seems more difficult than expected for Donald Trump, who so far could count on good economic results and a loyal electoral base.
Highlighting Donald Trump's recent threat to veto emergency funding for the United States Post, Joe Biden saw it as an example that the President intends to "do everything he can to make the vote very difficult ". In the United States, voters who cannot go to the polls can send or cast their ballot before or after polling day, which could help prevent the spread of the virus. But for Donald Trump, these methods increase the risk of fraud.
"When he wants, where he wants"
Because of the coronavirus epidemic, dozens of American states have postponed their primaries, which will officially determine the Democratic candidate for election. From the White House, Donald Trump, 73, takes part in daily press conferences on the evolution of the pandemic, which his opponents accuse him of transforming into campaign rallies, where he rallies his base and attacks his confined rivals with them, like Joe Biden, whom he called "the sleeping type".
"We have a guy asleep in the basement of his house (...) who does not want to debate because of the Covid-19", he launched Thursday. "I can't wait to debate with Donald Trump," said Joe Biden. "I'm ready for the debate: Zoom, Skype, Slack, (Google) Hangouts or in person. When he wants, where he wants! "
