Former U.S. President Joe Biden has launched a strong attack on his successor, Donald Trump. Trump not only “tore down the White House with a wrecking ball,” said the 82-year-old, according to U.S. media, referring to Trump’s construction work for a new ballroom at the White House, “but also tore down the Constitution, the rule of law, and our democracy.”
During his speech at a Democratic event in the state of Nebraska, the former president also addressed Trump directly. “They behave in a way that embarrasses us as a nation,” he said. Democratic victories as “rays of hope” He also accused Trump of putting the interests of his wealthy allies above those of the American people. “You work for us, Mr. President. We don’t work for you. You work for us — not just for billionaires and millionaires.”
According to reports, Biden described the Democratic victories in the gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as the New York City mayoral race last Tuesday, as bright spots “in a very, very dark time.” The American people, he said, had sent Trump a clear message through their votes. Battle with cancer Biden left office in January.
He had originally planned to run for re-election in 2024. However, after a disastrous performance in a debate, doubts grew about his physical and mental health, and criticism from within his own party intensified.
As a result, Biden withdrew from the campaign, and Kamala Harris replaced him. Later, the former president increasingly retreated from public life. In May, it was announced that Biden had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He recently completed his first round of radiation therapy for the illness.
