US President Joe Biden stressed that Democrats will win the midterm elections next week, but warned that the next two years would be difficult if polls forecasts so far pointing to a possible Republican victory were correct.
During his campaign that has taken him to a number of states in the final days before Tuesday's vote, the 79-year-old Democratic president expressed optimism that his party could win.
"I don't think at all that we're in trouble," he told a crowd in Chicago.
I think we will win.
Oh really".
However, Biden painted a bleak picture if the Republicans were victorious, warning that "if we lose Congress and the Senate, we will have two horrific years ahead."
"The good news is that I will have a veto" that would allow the president to block any future Republican legislation, he added.
Biden stressed that "democracy is really at stake."
Earlier Friday, the Democratic president defended his economic achievements, in an effort to avoid a possible defeat for the Democrats.
On the other hand, Joe Biden said Friday, commenting on billionaire Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, that Musk had bought a social networking platform that spreads lies around the world.
"Now what worries us all is: Elon Musk has bought a tool that sends lies around the world ... There are no longer editors in America," Biden said at a fundraiser.
There are no editors.
White House spokeswoman Karen-Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier that Biden had been clear about the need to curb hate speech and false information.
Three days before the US midterm elections, Democrats and Republicans are rushing to mobilize voters, going so far as to invite former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, as well as current President Joe Biden, to the same main state.
The three presidents will appear at staggered rallies in Pennsylvania, ahead of a crucial ballot that will lay the foundations for the 2024 presidential election.
All lights are on in this state where millionaire Trump-backed surgeon Mehmet Oz and former mayor Jon Fetterman are vying for one of the most contested seats in the Senate.
It is very likely that the balance of power in the Council will depend on this particular seat.
During the midterm elections scheduled for November 8, Americans were called to renew all seats in the House of Representatives.
Joe Biden has so far avoided taking the podiums in the campaign to collect donations for his party, but he takes to the stage at a major festival in Pennsylvania, the stronghold of American democracy.
Biden shares the stage with former President Barack Obama, known for his rhetorical skills to crowds.
400 km away, former Republican President Donald Trump will be standing in front of a sea of red hats in the small town of La Trobe, near Pittsburgh.
