President Joe Biden strongly condemned the recent Supreme Court ruling that could shield Donald Trump from potential prosecution related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Biden called on voters to consider Trump’s actions critically.
Biden delivered televised remarks from the White House, strategically diverting attention from his upcoming debate with Trump. His campaign strategy hinges on spotlighting Trump’s conduct rather than concerns about Biden’s age or fitness for office.
Biden emphasized the importance of American voters deciding whether Trump’s involvement in the Jan. 6 events disqualifies him from holding public office.
Biden said,
“The American people must decide whether Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on Jan. 6 makes him unfit for public office,”
Biden likened the court’s decision to its 2022 ruling on abortion rights, arguing that granting presidents immunity sets a dangerous precedent, placing them above the law.
Biden,
“dangerous precedent” that place them “above the law.”
The Supreme Court’s decision marks a significant legal victory for Trump, likely sparing him from facing trial before the upcoming election for attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. It also limits the scope of potential prosecution by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
