Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 8.

In an interview program broadcast by CBS, Biden was asked if he was confident of a peaceful transfer of power. He replied: "If Trump loses, I have no confidence at all." "He was serious. He said if we (Republicans) lose, there will be a 'blood war'."

During the June election debate with Biden, Trump was asked if he would accept any result of the presidential election. He responded: "If the election result is fair and legitimate, of course I will accept it."

Trump spoke about protecting the U.S. auto industry during a campaign event in Ohio in March, when he warned of a "bloodbath" if he failed to win the presidency. He later said the warning was directed at the auto industry.
