President Joe Biden said at a campaign event on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump had to be locked up because of the threat that he presents to the country.
Biden made the remarks during an event in Concord, New Hampshire, for Democratic candidates Joyce Craig and Maggie Goodlander.
“He is talking about doing away with the entire Department of Education,” Biden said. “He’s talking, he means it, this is not a joke. This is a guy who also wants to replace every civil servant, every single one. Thinks he has a right under the Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able if need be, if it was the case, to actually eliminate, physically eliminate, shoot and kill, someone who he believes to be a threat to him.”
“I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre,” Biden said. “It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We gotta lock him up.”
Several seconds later, after realizing what he said, Biden added: “Politically lock him up.”

Donald Trump Jr. quickly responded to the clip, posting on X: “They’re not even hiding it. The lawfare against my dad was always about election interference!”
Biden’s remarks may put Vice President Kamala Harris in a bind as she campaigns for president as she will be either forced to distance herself from Biden’s comments and risk angering Democrat voters or, if she agrees with Biden, she’ll be accused of supporting the weaponization of the justice system, which could hurt her with independent voters.
