Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump at a Maryland fundraiser, calling him a ‘loser’ and accusing him of corruption. Biden spoke at a state party fundraiser in Hanover, Maryland, where he also endorsed two former officials in his administration who are running for office.

Biden’s Critique of Trump

Biden’s 10-minute speech was one of his most pointed critiques of Trump since leaving office. He criticized Trump’s actions, including his handling of the January 6th protests at the Capitol, and accused him of wanting to give taxpayer money to the protesters. Biden also criticized Trump’s decision to pardon those involved in the protests, saying they ‘deserve to be put in jail for a long, long, long time’.

Biden’s speech came as he continues to navigate a complicated post-presidency. Many in his party remain frustrated with his handling of the 2024 election, and a recent CNN poll found that only 30% of the American public holds a favorable view of him.

Biden’s Family and Legacy

Biden’s family has also been in the news recently, with his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, releasing her memoir and embarking on a promotional tour. Their son, Hunter, has been active on social media, discussing his past struggles with drug addiction and his thoughts on politics.

Biden has spent much of the year working on his own memoir, although an official release date has not been announced. His presidential library is also in the works, although it is expected to be smaller in scale than former President Barack Obama’s $850 million presidential center in Chicago.
