President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden after his announcement to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Biden, citing his commitment to his current presidential duties, decided to step down, which led to a critical response from Trump.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was!” He accused Biden of gaining the presidency through deceit and criticized the media’s role in his election, stating Biden “only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”
Trump also addressed the issue of border security, blaming Biden for increased crime and security threats. “Now, 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 posted. He assured that his administration would quickly address these issues and restore order.
During a phone interview with CNN, Trump intensified his criticism, calling Biden the “single worst president by far in the history of our country.” This statement highlights Trump’s strong disapproval of Biden’s presidency and his belief that Biden’s withdrawal was inevitable due to his performance.
Biden’s decision clears the path for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee. As the political landscape shifts, the upcoming election is set to be highly competitive, with Trump positioning himself as the solution to what he perceives as the failures of the Biden administration.
