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.

    I’m arguing against Biden throwing Trump in jail

    Presumably because Trump is a politician? Or is it that you believe he committed no crimes?

        Do you believe Biden should be judge, jury, and executioner?

        Absolutely not!

        Maybe I understand your perspective better now? Is it that your opposition is to a president directly ordering someone be arrested/killed (vs directing the department of justice to administer a speedy and comprehensive trial in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice)?

          Yes and also Trump was being investigated when he was elected and at that point they called it off until he’s a citizen again.

          I don’t know if a speedy and comprehensive trail exists you get one or the other.
