Joe Biden made headlines this week after a controversial remark during a visit to a Democrat campaign office in New Hampshire. In a moment that has sparked widespread debate, Biden said, “We gotta lock [President Trump] up,” just 14 days before the 2024 election. This statement adds fuel to the ongoing political drama surrounding the legal cases against Trump, with Biden openly acknowledging his Department of Justice’s involvement in prosecuting his chief political rival.
Earlier this month, Biden referenced the federal cases Trump is facing, with clear satisfaction, further amplifying concerns about the use of legal systems for political gain. While Biden’s comment echoes the left’s relentless efforts to criminalize Trump, it also highlights the deepening polarization in American politics. Biden’s critics argue this is a blatant example of weaponizing the justice system.
The DOJ, under Biden’s watch, has pursued Trump with relentless fervor, most notably through special counsel Jack Smith, who has filed federal charges against the former president. But Biden’s open references to these cases—particularly the 34 felony counts in New York—suggest a concerted effort to ensure Trump faces jail time, a sentiment that resonates strongly with Biden’s liberal base but raises red flags among Republicans and free speech advocates.
With only days to go before the 2024 election, this new remark from Biden adds yet another layer of drama to an already chaotic political landscape. The move to “lock him up” could serve as a rallying cry for Democrats, but it also risks further deepening the divide in an already fractured electorate. Republicans are certain to use this comment as further proof of Biden’s overreach and politicization of justice.
Regardless of how voters interpret Biden’s latest slip, the statement ensures that the legal battles facing Trump will continue to dominate the headlines in the final days of the election campaign.
