President Joe Biden made remarks at a campaign event in Madison, Wisconsin, earlier today, saying he would win the 2024 presidential election and send former President Donald Trump into political exile, stating, “Let’s stand together, win this election and exile Donald Trump politically.”
Biden’s remarks about sending Trump into political exile come after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit accusing the State of New York of interfering in the 2024 presidential election, and Trump attorney Alina Habba alleging that Biden coordinated the criminal prosecution, stating after the verdict, “this is exactly what he had asked for and coordinated.”
The Associated Press reported that “roughly 300 supporters” attended the Madison event, which was held in a middle school,” and that “Biden, relying on a teleprompter for his remarks, attacked his presumptive Republican challenger”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Biden supporters held signs urging him to withdraw from the presidential race, “As he left Madison, supporters held signs along the side of the road that read, ‘Save your legacy drop out,’ ‘I heart you Joe, Bow out,’ ‘Pass the torch’ and ‘Pres Biden – serve your country – not your ego… exit now.'”
Biden responded to calls for him to step down, stating on X that he would not drop out, “Let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m the sitting President of the United States. I’m the nominee of the Democratic party. I’m staying in the race.”
