Joe Biden Calls Trump A ‘Convicted Felon,’ Says He Doesn’t Deserve To Be President

President Joe Biden said the 2024 presidential race was now in “uncharted territory” and called Donald Trump a “convicted felon” in harsh remarks at a campaign event on Monday, a signal the historic verdict will soon play center stage on both sides of the campaign trail.

“Folks, the campaign entered uncharted territory last week,” Biden said at a reception in Greenwich, Connecticut. “For the first time in American history, a former president that is a convicted felon is now seeking the office of the Presidency.”

He added, “But as disturbing as that is, more damaging is the all-out assault Donald Trump is making on the American system of justice.”

Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial after a jury unanimously agreed he had falsified business records to cover up allegations of an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump and his allies have raged — and fundraised — on the back of the conviction, but many in the Biden camp had been waiting to see how the historic decision played with voters.
