Trump’s response

The Biden campaign responded in a statement in which called Trump a “loser” and accused him of wanting to repeat the assault on the Capitol. “The American people are going to hand him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his penchant for violence and his thirst for revenge,” says the Democrats’ message.

Last Tuesday, Trump managed to win enough delegates in the primaries to mathematically secure his presidential nomination in the convention that the Republican Party will celebrate next July. Among other controversial statements, the Republican has promised to be a “dictator” on the first day of his term and suggested that he would encourage Russia to attack NATO countries that do not meet defense spending quotas.
