Former President Barack Obama has criticized his successor, Donald Trump, for casting doubt on the outcome of the upcoming election, likening him to a "two-bit dictator."
Addressing a campaign rally in Miami on behalf of
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Mr. Obama said the Republican
President suggested he could declare victory "before all votes are
counted."
"That's what a two-bit dictator does," Mr.
Obama said. "If you believe in democracy, you want every vote
counted."
Mr. Obama said that if a Democrat is acting like
Mr. Trump, "I can't support him."
The former president said that unlike Mr. Trump,
"with Joe and Kamala you don't have to think about them every day."
"You don't have to discuss the crazy tweets
the president sent this morning," Mr. Obama said.
"It will not be so tiring. You will know in
your life that the president is doing his job instead of proposing to bleach
us."
On Sunday, news site Axis reported that Mr. Trump
would declare victory on Tuesday night if he appeared to be ahead.
Mr. Trump denied the report, but said counting
ballots after election day was a "terrible thing".
Officials have warned that due to the expected
increase in postal ballots, voters will have to wait a few days or weeks for
the election results.
The last time it was not clear within a few hours
was in 2000, when the winner was not confirmed’ until a month later the Supreme
Court ruled.
Different states have different rules on how and
when to count postal ballots and in some states, it will take weeks to get
complete results.
