“For the first time in American history, a former president who is a convicted offender is running for president,” the Democratic president, who will face his predecessor on November 5 for the presidential election.
“As disruptive as this may be, his all-out offensive on the American justice system is even more harmful,” added Joe Biden, asserting that the campaign had “entered uncharted territory last week”.
For the Democratic president, Donald Trump would pose an even greater threat to American democracy if he wins the White House again in November.
“Something broke in this guy for real” after his defeat in the last presidential election, said Joe Biden. “It literally drives him crazy,” he added.
Joe Biden also castigated Donald Trump’s statements, saying on Sunday that a prison sentence could be “a breaking point” for his supporters.
These words have a particular resonance in a country still marked by the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when supporters of the Republican tried to prevent the certification of the presidential victory by Joe Biden.
“He says that if he loses, there will be a bloodbath in America. What kind of man says that?” the Democrat said Monday.
