Following President Joe Biden’s announcement to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, President Donald Trump blasted the declining president’s disastrous record. Biden decided to step down to focus on his current duties, a move that prompted Trump to voice his strong opinions.
On Truth Social, Trump claimed, “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was!” He accused Biden of securing his presidency through deceit and media manipulation, alleging that Biden “only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”
Trump also pointed to the issue of border security under Biden’s administration, blaming him for increased crime and security threats. “Look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists,” Trump wrote. He assured his supporters that he would address these issues quickly if re-elected, emphasizing his “Make America Great Again” agenda.
In a phone interview with CNN, Trump continued his critique, calling Biden the “single worst president by far in the history of our country.” This comment underscores Trump’s belief that Biden’s tenure has been disastrous and his withdrawal was inevitable.
With Biden stepping down, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take the lead as the Democratic nominee. As the political landscape changes, the upcoming election is poised to be highly competitive, with Trump positioning himself as the candidate who can correct what he perceives as the failures of the Biden administration. The 2024 election promises to be a critical and contentious contest for both parties.
