During an appearance in Ohio in March, Trump warned that there would be a “bloodbath” if he did not win the election.

Trump falsely claimed he won the 2020 election against Biden and was criminally charged in Washington, DC, and Georgia for illegally attempting to overturn the results.
Biden dropped out of the campaign last month after fellow Democrats called for him to step aside following a poor debate performance against Trump that raised questions about the Democratic president's age and health.
Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris, has since secured the Democratic nomination and is running against Trump.
