In an unprecedented statement, Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump, who is a potential rival in next year's election. Biden stated that Trump is driven by 'vengeance and animosity' and is 'a threat to America's democratic institutions.' Biden made these remarks at an event related to the late Republican figure John McCain's library in Arizona, repeatedly mentioning Trump during his speech. Over the past two years, he has rarely named Trump directly, often expressing criticism without mentioning him. According to Voice of America, Biden said Trump 'considers himself above the Constitution,' a statement that previous U.S. presidents 'have not even joked about.' Biden's reaction came a few days after Trump criticized him, accusing Biden of being ineffective as president. Biden has announced his candidacy for next year's presidential election, facing no prominent rival for the Democratic nomination. In contrast, Trump, who is leading in polls, will compete against several intra-party rivals for the Republican nomination. Trump has not participated in two Republican candidate debates, claiming he is far ahead of them. However, in the second debate, some candidates, including Chris Christie, had serious criticisms of him. Trump is facing legal challenges in several cases. Biden's criticisms of Trump come as the Republican-controlled House of Representatives recently held a session for a potential impeachment of the president, addressing what they call 'possible corruption related to Biden's son.' The White House has denied any wrongdoing in Biden's case. Polls indicate that one of the most important indicators for American voters is the economy. Although Biden's approval rating has increased compared to before, it remains below 50 percent. Reuters reports that if the U.S. elections were held today, both Biden and Trump would likely receive 39 percent of the votes, with one-fifth of voters still undecided about their final choice. Senator Mitt Romney, a 'staunch critic' of Trump, is retiring. Trump has been accused of attempting to change the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia. A new indictment against Trump has been issued; he is facing charges of 'interference in the 2020 election.' A brief look at the candidates for the U.S. presidential election.
