Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump at a Maryland Democratic Party fundraiser on Saturday night. Biden called Trump a ‘loser’ and criticized his actions, including his handling of the January 6th protests at the Capitol.
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 ‘vanity projects’ and ‘corruption,’ saying that Trump wants to give taxpayers’ money to the January 6th protesters.
Biden also endorsed two former officials in his administration who are running for office in Georgia and Massachusetts. He visited with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who are potential 2028 presidential hopefuls.
Biden’s Post-Presidency
Biden has been navigating a complicated post-presidency, with many in his party frustrated with his handling of the 2024 election. A recent CNN poll found that only 30% of the American public holds a favorable view of Biden.
Biden’s family has also been in the news, with his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, releasing her memoir and embarking on a promotional tour. Their son, Hunter, has been speaking out about his past struggles with drug addiction and his views on politics.
