He’s off his rocker.
At a campaign event on Monday, President Biden didn’t mince words when discussing his 2024 opponent, former President Trump. Biden labeled Trump as a “convicted felon” who, in his view, has “snapped” and is behaving erratically since the 2020 election.
Speaking at a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut, Biden’s remarks marked the first time he directly referred to Trump as a “convicted felon” at a campaign event. He expressed concern over the unprecedented situation of a former president with a criminal record seeking the presidency again, emphasizing the potential damage Trump’s actions could inflict on the American justice system.
Biden’s comments came in the wake of Trump’s recent New York criminal trial, where a jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records. Despite Trump’s claims of innocence and accusations of political persecution, Biden reiterated his stance that questioning the verdict undermines the integrity of the justice system. He also suggested that Trump’s behavior since the election indicates a decline in mental stability, stating that “something snapped” in him after the 2020 election.
Biden asserted that Trump’s behavior renders him unfit for office, regardless of whether Biden himself is running for re-election. This represents a departure from Biden’s previous strategy of refraining from directly attacking Trump over his legal troubles.
In response to Biden’s remarks, Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, criticized Biden for allegedly trying to divert attention from his son Hunter’s legal issues and the financial dealings of the Biden family. Despite Biden’s efforts to paint Trump as unfit for office, recent polling indicates that Biden trails behind Trump both nationally and in key battleground states.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee have been raking in significant fundraising figures, with a staggering $141 million raised in May alone. This influx of funds underscores the continued support for Trump’s candidacy and his formidable financial advantage heading into the election rematch with Biden.
