    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden has consistently claimed that Donald Trump is “determined to destroy American democracy,” and it appears that such a fear is slowly spreading among some voters in crucial swing states.

    They are worried that the former president would refuse to leave office at the end of a second term if he were reelected to the White House in November, Bloomberg reported, citing political researchers.

    He said that the “greater worry” was Trump “declaring a national emergency and refusing to allow the transition,” particularly if the Democrats were to win the 2028 presidential election.

    Concerns over the possibility that he could violate the 22nd Amendment appear to be very real, leading some toward the idea of voting for Biden despite of significant apprehension about his age, rampant inflation, and the US’s continued support for Israel in the Gaza conflict, the Bloomberg report said.

    In a video shared by Longwell, Bloomberg said a moderator asked a group of undecided swing-state voters: "Does anybody think he may not abide by the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution and leave office after the 2028 election?

    Seiji Carpenter, a vice president at David Binder Research with 10 years of experience running Democrat focus groups, also told Bloomberg that his firm had seen the issue cropping up: “We were talking to Latino men and Asian American-Pacific Islander women in battleground states, and they went straight to the issue of, what if Trump won’t give up power?”
