Rep. Adam Schiff expressed concerns about the upcoming election being free and fair, but possibly not peaceful due to potential challenges from former President Donald Trump. Schiff mentioned that Trump may contest the results if they are close, as he believes his defeat could lead to legal consequences. President Joe Biden also raised similar concerns about the election not being peaceful, referencing the violence that occurred after the 2020 election. Schiff highlighted the importance of having a significant margin to prevent challenges to the results, especially from Republicans. He stated that efforts to increase voter turnout and secure a larger margin are essential to ensure a more peaceful transition of power. Additionally, Schiff noted the impact of Trump’s baseless claims on the public’s confidence in election results. Despite his concerns, Schiff expressed confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris would win the election. The congressman emphasized the need to prioritize efforts to increase voter turnout and secure a sizable margin to avoid potential challenges and violence related to the election outcome.
