One of the most anticipated aspects of the upcoming CNN Presidential Debate is whether President Biden will address the criminal prosecutions and recent conviction of former President Trump. President Biden has been relatively quiet on the topic, with his White House also maintaining a reserved stance.
However, the recent criminal conviction of Trump in New York City has prompted a stronger response from President Biden. He criticized the claims of a rigged justice system made by Trump and his allies, calling such statements reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible.
During a fundraising event in Connecticut, President Biden referred to Trump as a 'convicted felon' and expressed concern over his potential candidacy for the presidency again.
Mitch Landrieu, a key figure in the Biden campaign, hinted on a recent episode of NBC News' 'Meet The Press' that Trump's legal troubles would likely be a topic of discussion during the debate. Landrieu highlighted Trump's history of being twice-impeached, convicted of felonies, accused of defamation and sexual abuse, and having faced multiple bankruptcies.
The upcoming debate is expected to shed light on the ongoing legal challenges faced by former President Trump and how President Biden views these developments. The public will be keen to see how both candidates address these sensitive issues on a national platform.
