During an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Rep. Adam Schiff echoed President Joe Biden’s warning that the upcoming election may not be peaceful, even if it is free and fair. Schiff predicted that if former President Donald Trump loses again, as he expects, he will contest the results. Trump may do this because he believes that failure at the ballot box could lead to legal trouble. Biden had previously expressed confidence in the fairness of the election, but raised concerns about potential violence. Schiff pointed to the Capitol riot as evidence of the danger fueled by 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, who is running for Senate, also mentioned that he expects Vice President Kamala Harris to win the election. Ultimately, the focus should be on turning out voters to ensure a decisive outcome and reduce the risk of post-election unrest. NBC News reached out to the Trump campaign for comment but did not receive a response.
