US President Joe Biden , in his most scathing criticism yet, said that to counter Donald Trump 's radical proposals, "we got to lock him up ." Speaking to supporters at a Democratic campaign office in Concord, New Hampshire, Biden quickly clarified that he meant "politically lock him up," drawing applause from the crowd. His remarks come just weeks ahead of the November 5 election, highlighting the intense political climate surrounding Trump's multiple criminal charges.
Biden's comments come as Trump, the Republican candidate, faces multiple criminal charges stemming from efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election . While the White House has generally refrained from commenting on Trump’s legal issues, Biden’s remarks signal a notable shift in rhetoric. During his address, Biden warned that Trump's potential return to the White House poses a grave threat to democracy, asserting, “Our democracy is at stake.”
This political tension echoes the 2016 election, when Trump infamously urged supporters to "lock her up" regarding Hillary Clinton, a chant that became a hallmark of his campaign. Now, Biden’s rallying cry has been met with cheers from his base, though Vice President Kamala Harris has distanced herself from the slogan at her events, stating, "The courts will handle that. Let's handle November, shall we?"
Biden also highlighted concerns raised by global leaders regarding Trump’s possible re-election. “Every international meeting I attend... they pull me aside and say, ‘Joe, he can’t win. My democracy is at stake,’” he revealed, underlining the international ramifications of the election.
During the rally, Biden acknowledged the support Harris has received from some prominent Republicans, including former Congresswoman Liz Cheney. However, his focus remained firmly on Trump, whom he accused of having "anti-democratic" attitudes and aligning himself with authoritarian figures.
With polls showing a tight race between Trump and Harris, Biden's sharp rhetoric underscores the high stakes of the forthcoming election. He concluded, “We must win.”
