Former President Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump at a Maryland state party fundraiser, calling him a ‘loser’ and accusing him of corruption.
Biden’s Critique
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.
Biden also expressed his frustration with Trump’s desire to give taxpayer money to those involved in the January 6th protests, saying they ‘deserve to be put in jail for a long, long, long time’.
Context
The speech came two years after Biden’s last debate with Trump and as Biden navigates a complicated post-presidency. Many in his party remain frustrated with his handling of the 2024 election.
Biden has continued to criticize Trump, accepting invites to party events in Maryland, South Dakota, and his home state of Delaware in the past month to try to rally Democrats during Trump’s second term.
