In a post-impeachment political environment, Democrats keep peppering their potential 2020 nominees about what they would do if President Trump doesn't accept November's general election results.
Joe Biden, who appears to be holding together his firewall ahead of Saturday's South Carolina primary, faced an iteration of the question during a televised town hall in Charleston late Wednesday.
"Sir, what is your plan if Trump loses but refuses to concede based on allegations by his supporters of irregularities, and he refuses to step down as president based on those allegations?" the voter inquired on CNN to some laughs from the studio audience.
Biden, 77, told the man, Deveaux Stockton, an area trial lawyer, it was a "serious concern."
"Did you ever think in your lifetime, no matter how young or old you are, any person would be able to ask that question and be taken seriously?" the two-term vice president said. "Our democracy is at risk."
Delaware's 36-year senator added, given the way Trump had undercut the military, the intelligence community, and the FBI during his four years in office, he had "no worry about him being escorted out of the White House" if he declined to vacate the building on Jan. 20, 2021, or beyond.
While the exchange evoked a ripple of laughter from the crowd, versions of Stockton's inquiry seem to be on voters' minds across the country, even if he would lack the requisite constitutional authority, wouldn't be able to marshal law enforcement and other agencies to come to his defense, and as a private citizen would feel the full weight of justice system.
Pete Buttigieg, 38, was pressed on the same issue three times over a two-day period in Nevada earlier this month.

Well when they lose again this time, will they accept the results?
Cause, they still haven’t accepted the results of 2016
Dems sound fairly confident that their fraud will gain them the Presidency
If he loses he will step down, he isn’t a democrat.
I’m pretty sure Trump will be P.O.ed at winning only 49 States instead of all 50.
What? like Hillary and the deep state
2016 nothing. They’re still whining about 2000.
If the Democrat nominee wins the presidency with 500 million votes, questions will be asked.
better they keep an eye on hillary... i’m more than tired of their backstabbing manners.. they are just plain juvenile.
Yes, PDJT will leave the White House on Jan. 20, 2025.
Maybe the ‘Rats shouldn’t commit vote fraud with such reckless abandon this time.
Yes, we will become the Resisters, and challenge the invalid Democrat president. Impeachment should start immediately. Biden can be impeached for Ukraine, Bernie can be impeached for his ties to the Soviet Union, Fauxcohantas can be impeached for falsely saying she is and Indian, etc.
It’s like they know the Democrat will win...........
The fraud machine we saw in 2018 will be fine tuned for this election.
Following the left/Alinsky tactic of accusing your opponent of what you yourself are actually doing.

That’ll make ‘em extra ANXIOUS!
Do you know why Trump doesn’t wear glasses?
He’s already got 2020.
If there is no voter fraud there will be nothing to worry about.
No, democrats are not jittery about the prospect of Trump contesting general election results. Democrats see this slander as only another way to smear Trump.
Got to hand it to the democrats. They fight. They never leave a stone unturned. If the Republicans had half their fight, they would always win hands down.
Absurd.
