President Joe Biden made a remark about locking up former President Donald Trump during a conversation with campaign workers in New Hampshire. Trump responded to Biden’s comment by accusing him of politically persecuting him through legal action carried out by the Department of Justice and the FBI. Trump, who has been convicted on 34 felony counts, faces additional charges related to mishandling classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. Despite his legal troubles, Trump continues to hold rallies and claim he is being investigated more than Al Capone. Biden clarified that his statement about locking up Trump was meant politically, not physically harming him. The Democratic Party has tried to avoid discussing Trump’s legal issues and Biden has attempted to discourage chants of “lock him up” at campaign events. Trump’s campaign spokeswoman criticized Biden’s comments, accusing him and Vice President Kamala Harris of politically persecuting Trump because they cannot beat him in a fair election. Overall, the interactions illustrate the ongoing tension and animosity between the two sides as they prepare for the 2024 election.
