President Joe Biden made a comment about locking up former President Donald Trump during a campaign event in New Hampshire, which Trump later seized upon, claiming he is being politically persecuted. Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York and faces other charges related to his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump often claims he is being investigated more than Alfonse Capone and has threatened to prosecute his perceived enemies. Biden clarified that he meant to politically lock Trump out, not physically eliminate him. Democrats have been careful to avoid commenting on Trump’s legal troubles, with Vice President Kamala Harris shutting down chants of “lock him up” at campaign events. Trump’s campaign spokesperson condemned Biden’s remarks, accusing him and Harris of politically persecuting Trump because they cannot beat him fairly. Biden and Democrats are focused on beating Trump at the ballot box rather than through legal means.
