US President Joe Biden Calls for Trump to be Locked Up 14 Days Before Election

President Joe Biden recently made headlines with his remarks about former President Donald Trump. Speaking at the Democratic Party's headquarters in Concord, Biden stated, "We gotta lock him up," referring to Trump. This comment came just two weeks before the upcoming election, sparking massive backlash from Trump's allies.

Biden quickly clarified his statement, adding, "Politically lock him up," and further softening his rhetoric by saying, "Lock him out, that’s what we have to do." The president's comments were intended to highlight the perceived dangers of Trump's policies, which he described as "bizarre" and potentially harmful to democracy.

The remarks drew criticism from Trump supporters, with some accusing Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of attempting to politically persecute their opponent. A spokesperson for Trump, Karoline Leavitt, labeled Biden's comments as "disgraceful" and called on Harris to condemn them.

Biden's statements are reminiscent of Trump's own calls during the 2016 presidential campaign to "lock up" his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
