Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday at an online fundraiser predicted that President Trump would try and push back November's general election because the president thinks that is the "only way he can possibly win."

“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 told supporters, adding that doing so is "the only way [Trump] thinks he can possibly win.”

Biden also criticized Trump’s apathy towards the U.S. Postal Service’s dire financial situation, asserting that the president is “trying to undermine the election with false claims of voter fraud and threatening to block essential COVID assistance if any extra funds go to the U.S. Postal Service.”

“It’s un-American,” Biden said of Trump’s behavior.

“We have to figure out how we are going to conduct a full and fair and safe election in November and no one should have to risk their lives to cast a ballot,” Biden added.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said that as president he would restore the Voting Rights Act, and support same-day voter registration while working to pass the Safe Elections Act which would "boost funding for states to file a new secure, paper-based ballot voting systems."

Head to head, Biden will crush Trump.

1. I have no doubt in my mind.

Trump has demonstrated that he will throw anything and everything to protect his ass.

2. He can try, but if he wants to move it to 2021

legally he has to leave office Jan. 20, 2021 as his term will expire.

3. If Thump tries to delay the election

that means the angry and motivated voters will be the ones to turn out. I doubt Donnie has enough base voters left outside lily-white districts in ruby-red states to make the difference.

The recent Wisconsin primary showed what happens when angry people go to the polls despite the chill and the risk of a second-wave COVID outbreak. It won’t be pretty for Thump or the Rethuglies.

4. It is a reality-based prediction.

5. It's up to the states, not Trump

The Electors meet in December, and Congress certifies the electoral college votes in early January.

Joe should know better, Trump has no authority over the November election.
