In a rare public address, former president said US is experiencing ‘dark days’ and urged Americans to vote

Joe Biden has warned that his presidential successor, Donald Trump, will attempt to “steal” the midterm elections, in a rare public address.

Speaking in South Carolina, where he was being honored for his lifetime achievement in politics, Biden also asserted that the US is experiencing “dark days”, in a speech made hours before the Trump administration launched attacks on Iran.

Reprising a line from the 2020 campaign that saw him defeat Trump and end Trump’s first presidency, Biden told the crowd at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday that the “battle for the soul of this nation is one that’s never really over”. He simultaneously criticized Trump’s plan to introduce potentially prohibitive voting requirements ahead of the midterms.

So, thank you to Elon” legitimately won in a free and fair election.

              Why does that matter? He’s one of the most prolific criminals in history, and he was caught with boxes of classified material in his home, which is a major crime. People have gotten the death penalty for less.

              None of that is to mention that he literally shut down his own election interference case, and now it’s turning out he makes Jeffrey Dahmer look like an amateur hobbyist.
