The Biden campaign accused Trump of threatening to genocide America if he loses the election.
AP reported on Trump's Ohio rally:
If I don't get elected, it will be a sea of blood. … “This will be a bloodbath for the country,” he warned while talking about the impact of offshore outsourcing on the domestic auto industry and plans to increase tariffs on foreign-made cars.
President Trump later claimed, “If we don’t win this election, I’m not sure we’ll ever have another election in this country.”
The Biden campaign responded to Trump after spokesman James Singer said, “This is Donald Trump. A loser who lost by more than 7 million votes and then doubled down on threats of political violence instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience.” He wants another January 6th, but the American people will hand him another election loss this November as they continue to reject his extremism, love of violence, and thirst for revenge.”

The Biden campaign responded perfectly to Trump's threats. The reason Donald Trump threatens America is because he himself is threatened. Trump's business empire collapsed. The former president's freedom is at risk, and he could become a convicted felon.
Donald Trump knows he cannot win a free and fair election, so he is trying to scare Americans into voting for him.
Trump is a threat. He is a threat to democracy, freedom, and national security, but a threat the Republican Party never wants to discuss.
