During a recent press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that President Joe Biden believes his former election rival, former President Donald Trump, is a fascist. The confirmation came in response to a question regarding former White House chief of staff John Kelly's assertion that Trump meets the definition of a fascist.
Jean-Pierre emphasized the President's concerns about threats to democracy and referenced Trump's own statements about becoming a dictator. She highlighted that this view is not exclusive to the current administration but has also been expressed by former officials who worked under Trump.
