President Joe Biden has expressed his concerns about Donald Trump’s selection of Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate, stating that it cements the Republican Party into the mold of “Make America Great Again” politics. In an interview with BET News, Biden criticized Vance as a “really, really conservative MAGA Republican,” despite acknowledging him as a bright and hard-working senator. Trump announced Vance as his vice presidential candidate, with the Ohio senator formally accepting the nomination in a speech at the Republican National Convention. Biden emphasized the need to tone down violent rhetoric following an assassination attempt against Trump, while also reiterating his commitment to addressing differences on the issues and the future of the country.
The far-right’s recent successes in the EU Parliamentary elections and Trump’s attempts to ride a populist wave back to the White House were also highlighted. Biden claimed that Trump’s comments about violence and the January 6th insurrectionists should not be tolerated, and criticized the Democratic Party’s perceived role in raising the political temperature that led to the assassination attempt.
As Biden continues to focus on policy issues and clarifies his stance on violent rhetoric, he also mentioned that there is a condition under which he would consider dropping his reelection bid – if doctors were to diagnosis him with a serious medical condition. The interview with Gordon shed light on Biden’s perspective on the current political landscape and his approach to addressing challenges moving forward.
