Former US President and Republican presidential nominee for the 2024 election, Donald John Trump, has responded to Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the November election.
In an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins moments after Biden’s announcement, Donald Trump described his successor as the worst President the United States has ever had.
“He is the worst president in the history of our country,” the former president said in the call.
He continued that President Biden “goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country.”
Trump, however, added that, facing Kamala Harris, the US Vice President whom Biden has endorsed, would be the easiest task for him and the Republican party.
The former president also took to his Truth Social account to respond to the news that he will no longer face Biden in November.
“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement,” he wrote. “All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t.”
Trump concluded: “We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly.”
Biden was not yet the Democratic Party’s official nominee and there is still a short time to replace him before the Democratic National Convention next month.
The party’s nominating convention is August 19-22 in Chicago, Illinois and it now appears that Harris will be at the top of the Democratic ticket by the end of that week.
Below is Biden’s statement for his announcement.
