Discontent and concern among members of his party and unpopularity among voters. Under those two mantles he faces Joe Biden the challenge of his re-election as president of the United States, which began this Friday his campaign for November in a emblematic place of the American Civil WarValley Forge, Pennsylvania.
“Donald Trump’s campaign is about him, not the United States,” Biden said in his impassioned speech. “His campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He is willing to sacrifice our democracy to come to power.”
In his first campaign ad released this Thursday he made it clear where the shots will go. “Something dangerous is happening in the United States. There is an extremist movement who does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. They ask all of us right now what are we going to do to maintain our democracy“said Biden, warning that the future of democracy is at stake.
He knows that in front of him he will have a rival who does not want to back down even one bit in his speech despite the four criminal trials he has ahead of him, with 91 charges in total. In fact, Trump seems to have gone one step further in his goal of repeating his term in the White House. He seems more challenging than ever. At a rally a few weeks ago he did not hesitate to indicate that immigrants are “polluting the blood of the country” and promised more deportations than ever in the history of the country. The record, by the way, is held by a Democrat, former President Barack Obama.
And far from lowering his tone in the face of what happened on January 6, he has insisted at least a dozen times that he will study a presidential pardon for some of the members of the mob that assaulted the Capitol three years ago if he returns to occupy the Office. Oval. He has called them patriots and innocent people who simply did nothing wrong that day. “We will look very, very seriously at full pardons,” the former president said in an interview in 2022. “I mean full pardons with an apology for many.”
