Biden says Trump should be “politically” isolated

U.S. President Joe Biden has said that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. In this regard, he should be “politically” locked up.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Reuters.

“We have to lock him up. Politically lock him up. Block him. That's what we have to do,” Biden said.

The president's statement was made at a campaign headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire, where he called on Democrats to win the November 5 election on Tuesday.

Biden also added that Trump wants to disregard the guarantees of the US Constitution, and therefore “our democracy is at risk” if he defeats Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

Reuters recalled that in 2016, at Trump's rallies when he was running for president, crowds of people repeatedly chanted “lock her up,” referring to then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Trump, in turn, did not dissuade them from these phrases.

Now this year, crowds at rallies in support of Harris sometimes chant “lock him up.” People are referring to Trump, who was convicted of 34 felony counts of hush money paid to a porn star. In addition, he was charged with an illegal attempt to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.

But Harris, in turn, is putting a stop to these chants, saying that the US Department of Justice will deal with the issue while she tries to defeat the former president in the election.
