President Joe Biden didn’t mince words when discussing former President Donald Trump, describing him as “clearly unhinged” and suggesting that something changed within him after the 2020 election loss.
Speaking at a private fundraiser in Seattle, Biden expressed his belief that Trump’s behavior has become increasingly erratic since his electoral defeat. He pointed to Trump’s obsession with the 2020 election results as evidence, noting that Trump’s statements have become increasingly concerning.
Despite his characterization of Trump as “unhinged,” Biden acknowledged that the upcoming November election is expected to be competitive. While expressing confidence in his campaign’s efforts, Biden emphasized the importance of recognizing the race’s closeness, citing recent polls.
Recent polling data, including a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, suggests that Trump maintains an advantage over Biden among registered voters. However, Biden’s campaign remains active, with the president engaging in policy speeches and campaign events to rally support.
During his remarks, Biden didn’t shy away from poking fun at Trump’s past statements and actions, including his infamous suggestion to inject bleach as a treatment for COVID-19. He used humor to underscore what he sees as Trump’s shortcomings, drawing laughter from the crowd.
The fundraiser, hosted at the residence of former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley, allowed Biden to connect with donors and supporters. As he wrapped up his speech, Biden assured attendees that he would strive to meet their expectations, signaling his commitment to delivering on his promises.
