President Joe Biden took a moment from the campaign trail to cast his early ballot in Delaware on Monday, expressing confidence in his Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to secure a victory in the 2024 election. He also took the opportunity to address a range of pressing issues, including the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and former President Donald Trump’s recent rally at Madison Square Garden.
Biden, who waited in line with fellow voters and even helped an elderly woman in a wheelchair, declared his ballot-casting experience as “just sweet.” He was then met by a flurry of questions from reporters, eager to hear his thoughts on the latest developments in the political landscape.
When asked about the massive rally held by Trump at Madison Square Garden the previous night, Biden didn’t mince words, calling it “beneath any president” and reiterating the importance of the upcoming election. He went on to criticize Trump’s rhetoric, suggesting that his words often put his own character into question.
Biden also addressed the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, calling for an immediate cease-fire to end the bloodshed. He expressed concerns over the involvement of North Korea in the Russia-Ukraine war, labeling it “very dangerous.”
Amidst a string of questions, Biden was asked about Elon Musk’s $1 million offer to swing-state voters who support his political action committee’s petition advocating for the Constitution. Biden deemed Musk’s offer “totally inappropriate.”
Despite recent challenges and concerns, Biden maintains his conviction in Harris’s ability to win the upcoming general election. He remains steadfast in his belief that Democrats, including Harris, will emerge victorious in 2024. This optimistic outlook comes as the race to the White House heats up, with the election just a week away.
