Jill Biden slams Team Trump over ‘shocking’ nonchalance on indictment

Jill Biden showed up to Donald Trump Monday night waving, even as her husband Joe Biden has repeatedly declined to comment on the criminal case against the former president. But at her first solo campaign event since President Biden announced his bid for a second White House term, Jill didn’t hold back. Speaking to Democratic donors in the Upper East Side, the Manhattan home of Barry Ginsburg and his wife Merle, the first lady criticized Trump supporters for supporting the former president through his federal indictment. “They don’t care about the charges. So that’s a bit shocking I think,” she said according to telereporters who attended the event.

President Biden, on the other hand, has declined to comment on the situation. “I have no comment at all,” President Biden repeatedly told reporters in North Carolina on Friday. Jill Biden was with him on that trip and saw his refusal to answer questions on the matter. And it wasn’t the first lady’s only harsh language. She released her pitch to Democrats donating millions to her husband’s re-election, describing apocalyptic conditions the GOP would bring to the country if they were in power. She accused MAGA Republicans of bringing “chaos and corruption, hatred and division” to the nation and warned that “we can’t go back to those dark days” when Trump was in the White House.

Meanwhile, Trump arrived in Miami, where he is due to appear in federal court on Tuesday on 37 charges related to his possession of classified documents. The 49-page indictment alleges that the former president willfully lied to the Justice Department, got his lawyers to go along with his scheme, and even bragged about having documents he knew he shouldn’t have. to have. Of the 37 charges against Trump, 31 involve classified and highly classified secret documents he kept after leaving the White House in early 2021. Jill Biden is on a massive three-day fundraising trip that will take her to the wealthy neighborhoods. in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles as she helps the Biden campaign fill the coffers before the end of the second quarter fundraising deadline in June.

The first lady is on a mission to convince donors who have expressed skepticism that Joe Biden, at age 80, has the strength and stamina for a second term. She spoke to 50 donors in an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and told them to “think about where we were three years ago.” She did not name Trump, but referred to his habit during his years in the White House of firing off policies via Twitter. “We know what’s in store for the MAGA Republicans. We just know, right? We know it because we’ve lived it. We’ve seen it,’ she said. “We know what it’s like to see US policy tweeted in nightly tweet storms.” The Biden campaign has not yet released its fundraising totals, but will have to do so by June 30, when financial reports are due with the Federal Election Commission. President Biden will make his own campaign swing next week as he heads to California to beg dollars for his war chest. He will also make a stopover in Chicago, the hometown of former President Barack Obama.
