US President Joe Biden and his presumptive rival Donald Trump have verbally attacked each other in the heat of the 2024 White House campaign. Neither candidate is the official candidate of his party, on Wednesday, the 6th of December, writes the British BBC.
Despite his criminal cases, Trump is the clear leader of the Republican Party, while Biden is the presumptive Democratic Party candidate. Current polls suggest a potentially close race between the two rivals.
Speaking to reporters behind the cameras at a campaign fundraising event, Biden said: “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I would run”, adding that
“we can’t let him win”.
These statements by Biden are the first time he has explicitly linked his candidacy for a second term to the return of the Republican Trump, swearing by the need to destroy him.
On Tuesday, Trump speaking at a town hall meeting in Davenport, Iowa, broadcasted by Fox News, questioned President Biden’s ability to withstand a tough campaign, doubting
whether he would be “make it physically”,
adding that his rival’s mental condition “is probably as bad or even worse” than his physical condition.
In addition, in response to a question from Sean Hannity about whether he would use “power as retribution” if elected, former President Trump said he would only act as a “dictator” on the first day of his second term, stressing that he wanted to “close the border and drill, drill, drill,” but otherwise he is not a dictator, reports the Politico.
