In a rare public address, former president said US is experiencing ‘dark days’ and urged Americans to vote

Joe Biden has warned that his presidential successor, Donald Trump, will attempt to “steal” the midterm elections, in a rare public address.

Speaking in South Carolina, where he was being honored for his lifetime achievement in politics, Biden also asserted that the US is experiencing “dark days”, in a speech made hours before the Trump administration launched attacks on Iran.

Reprising a line from the 2020 campaign that saw him defeat Trump and end Trump’s first presidency, Biden told the crowd at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday that the “battle for the soul of this nation is one that’s never really over”. He simultaneously criticized Trump’s plan to introduce potentially prohibitive voting requirements ahead of the midterms.

    No, pretty much no President besides Trump would even consider doing traitorous shit.

    Garland and the Biden administration and Jack Smith took great care to ensure that Trump would be held accountable for his crimes in a way that was professional and followed due-process and could not be seen by a reasonable person to be a political witch-hunt.

    75 million people fucked it up by voting for Trump again. Biden fucked up by not bowing out and holding a primary, but Jack Smith and the DOJ put together a great case that likely would have resulted in him being held accountable.
