During a campaign stop in New Hampshire, President Joe Biden remarked that former President Donald Trump should be 'locked up,' later clarifying that he meant 'politically lock him up.' Biden expressed concerns shared by global leaders about the potential threat a Trump presidency poses to democratic norms globally. His comments have sparked criticism from Trump's camp, accusing Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of political persecution. Biden's remarks also echo the controversial 'lock her up' chants used by Trump supporters against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Vice President Harris has been careful to distance herself from such rhetoric, emphasizing electoral defeat over imprisonment. The situation highlights the ongoing tension and political rivalry between the Democratic and Republican parties as the election approaches.
