President Biden recently spoke to supporters in Seattle, making a striking comment about former President Trump’s behavior after losing the 2020 election. According to reporters, Biden said, “It’s clear that… when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him.
He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.” This remark came during a fundraising event, where Biden reflected on the differences in this election cycle as the two candidates prepare for a rematch.
Biden’s comments follow the fourth week of Trump’s historic criminal trial in Manhattan, where he faces charges related to hush money payments. Despite trailing Trump in most polls, Biden expressed confidence in his campaign, acknowledging that the race will be close.
“We feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,” he said. According to Decision Desk HQ/The Hill, Trump holds a slim lead of 0.02% over Biden in national polls.
The fundraiser, held at the home of former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley, saw Biden pledge to do his best “not to disappoint” his supporters. The Hill has contacted the Biden campaign for further comment on his statement.
CNN first reported the remarks, highlighting the ongoing tension between the two candidates and the high stakes of the upcoming election. As the campaign season heats up, it remains to be seen how Trump will respond to Biden’s comments and how the race will reveal in the coming months.
