‘My message to the Proud Boys and every other white supremacist group is: Cease and desist,’ says Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden
ALLIANCE, Ohio - Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday said voters “will not stand for it” if President Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to leave office, raising the tension ahead of the November vote.
“The president will step down. The American people will not stand for it. No agency would stand for that happening,” Biden said at a campaign stop in Alliance, Ohio, one of the battleground states in the Nov.3 election. Biden has held a modest but steady lead in national voter surveys for months although opinion polls in the battleground states that traditionally decide elections show a closer contest.
Trump had called on the “Proud Boys” to “stand back and stand by” when asked at the debate to repudiate white supremacists, raising concerns that he was encouraging the group to act as freelance poll monitors.The Proud Boys describes itself as a club of “Western chauvinists” but has been categorized as a hate group by the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center.
More than 1.6 million voters in 15 states have cast early ballots ahead of Election Day, according to the U.S. Elections Project at the University of Florida. “Last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues,” the Commission on Presidential Debates said in a statement. “The CPD will be carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and will announce those measures shortly.”
