Biden has repeatedly blasted the idea of delaying the general election, even after multiple states delayed primaries and caucuses due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday predicted President Donald Trump will try to delay the 2020 presidential election in a ploy to snag a reelection victory.
“Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” Biden said, according to a pool report of an online campaign event. “That’s the only way he thinks he can possibly win.”

Biden often argues that elections were carried out during the Civil War and World War II, and that the country could still pull off an election during a pandemic. He has also previously said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that Trump “doesn’t have the authority to” delay the election, though “it’s possible they may start a drumbreat saying it should be postponed.”
