In a recent campaign rally in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden made a controversial statement, calling for the incarceration of his predecessor, Donald Trump.
Addressing a crowd of ardent supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Biden emphatically stated, "We got to lock him up!"
This bold declaration comes in the wake of accusations from the Trump campaign and GOP politicians. They have alleged that Biden and Harris are using the Department of Justice as a tool to target the potential 2024 GOP nominee. According to The Post Millennial, these allegations have been a recurring theme since the onset of Biden's presidency in 2021, with Trump facing numerous federal criminal indictments.
The reasons behind Biden's desire to see Trump imprisoned remain unclear. However, his statement was met with a wave of cheers and laughter from the crowd. In an attempt to temper his initial statement, Biden added, "politically lock him up."
Trump's legal woes have been mounting. In June, a Manhattan jury found him guilty of 34 felony offenses related to falsified business documents. The prospect of jail time for the former president is not entirely far-fetched. Trump was scheduled for sentencing in September, but Judge Merchan postponed the hearing until after the presidential election.
Trump is also facing charges in several other cases, including the 2020 Georgia election case and the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. Despite these legal challenges, Trump has consistently maintained his innocence, attributing the indictments to "witch hunts" by a Justice Department allegedly weaponized under the Biden administration.
As of now, the GOP nominee has not responded to Biden's provocative remarks made on Tuesday. This story is still developing, and updates will be provided as they become available.
