„Donald Trump is a loser!“ Biden told the crowd in Detroit, who responded by chanting, „Lock him up!“
President Joe Biden unloaded on former President Donald Trump as a „loser“ during a campaign stop in Michigan on Friday as a minority of Democrats continued to call for him to drop out of the race.
Biden has vowed to remain this year’s presumptive Democratic presidential nominee despite facing intense pressure to withdraw by some members of his own party following weeks of backlash stemming from his June 27 debate performance against Trump.
By Friday, 20 sitting Democratic lawmakers had publicly called for his exit, while another 24 Democratic former U.S. House and Senate members penned an open letter asking that he release his delegates and back an „open“ Democratic National Convention next month.
During a rally on the same day in Michigan, a state that is likely crucial to Biden’s chances of defeating Trump for a second time, the president mentioned the speculation about his campaign, reaffirmed his pledge to stay in the race and promised to beat Trump in November.
