Biden says the election will be 'free and fair,' but 'I don't know whether it will be peaceful'

1. President Joe Biden said Friday he was confident that the November election would be "free and fair" but expressed concerns that it may not be "peaceful." During a surprise appearance at the White House press briefing, a reporter asked Biden if he thought that the election would be free and fair and whether it would be peaceful. Biden answered: "I'm confident it will be free and fair. I don't know whether it will be peaceful. Which do you agree with?

2. Biden added that he's "concerned about what they're going to do," pointing to remarks Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, made at Tuesday's vice presidential debate where he dodged a question about whether Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, had asked Vance, "Did he [Trump] lose the 2020 election?" "Tim, I'm focused on the future," Vance answered. In response, Walz called Vance's comments "a damning non-answer." Does it concern you that Vance would not say Trump lost the election?
