President Joe Biden has accused his predecessor Donald Trump and his supporters of undermining democracy, ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
“Make no mistake, democracy is on the ballot for all of us,” Mr Biden, said, referring to threats by some Republicans candidates to refuse to accept the outcome should they lose.
Republicans hit back, saying Mr Biden was seeking to “divide and deflect”.
Control of both chambers of Congress is at stake in the 8 November vote.
