During a recent campaign event in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden stirred controversy by making a pointed comment about his chief political rival, Donald Trump. While addressing supporters, Biden was heard saying, “We gotta lock him up,” in reference to Trump.
The slip drew immediate backlash, with critics interpreting it as a window into the administration’s perceived willingness to leverage legal challenges against the former president.
This remark comes amidst ongoing accusations from Trump and his supporters that the criminal charges he faces are politically motivated.
Biden’s demand to ‘lock him up’ could prove useful in Trump’s defense of multiple state and federal charges he is facing.
Trump’s legal troubles, which include multiple indictments related to alleged election interference and mishandling classified documents, have been a major point of contention in the 2024 election. Many in the GOP see Biden’s comment as evidence of a concerted effort to remove Trump from the political arena through legal avenues—a claim the Biden administration denies, maintaining the independence of the DOJ.
Adding to the tensions, Democrats have turned their focus to tech mogul Elon Musk, a Trump supporter, over his America PAC’s controversial petition-based million-dollar giveaway. Musk’s campaign, which incentivizes signers in key battleground states with hefty payouts, has raised eyebrows among Democratic leaders. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro suggested that law enforcement should scrutinize whether these efforts cross legal lines, arguing that the flood of “dark money” into the election process is a cause for concern.
With Biden’s rhetoric and Musk’s financial interventions at the forefront, the 2024 election has become a battleground not just of ideologies, but of legal strategies and political influence.
