Biden Casts 2024 Ballots in Delaware, Calls Trump MSG Rally ‘Embarrassing’

Biden Casts 2024 Ballots in Delaware, Calls Trump MSG Rally ‘Embarrassing’

President Biden cast his early ballot in Delaware on Monday and told reporters he was confident about it Vice President Kamala Harris will defeat former President Donald Trump by calling Trump’s Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden in New York an embarrassment.

Biden waited in line with other voters outside the Delaware Department of Elections and helped push an elderly woman in a wheelchair in front of him before casting his vote. After the vote, Biden greeted reporters outside, where he was asked if it was a bittersweet moment.

Biden replied, “No, it’s just sweet.”

Biden withdrew from the re-election campaign in July after a poor debate performance that raised concerns about his health and concerns among Democrats about his chances of defeating Trump.

Biden was asked what he thought about it a massive rally organized by Trump at Madison Square Garden the night before.

“It’s below the level of any president, but we’re used to it,” Biden said. “That’s why this election is so important.”

Biden added that Trump questions his character “every time he opens his mouth.”

Trump took the stage Sunday evening before a packed room of thousands of supporters, where his speech focused on rising immigration, inflation concerns and looking to a future of lower consumer costs and a secure border.

Asked about Israel-Hamas war and a potential ceasefire, Biden responded: “We need a ceasefire, we need to end this war.”

Biden was asked about another conflict abroad, the Russian-Ukrainian war North Korea deploys troops help Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“It’s very dangerous,” Biden said of the apparent escalation.

The questions ranged from whether he was thinking Elon Musk’s offer for $1 million for swing state voters who sign his political action committee’s petition supporting the constitution was election interference. Biden called the tech billionaire’s offer “totally inappropriate.”
