U.S. President Joe Biden ripped several of his possible Republican 2024 election opponents on Monday, including saying that his predecessor Donald Trump lacked the "courage" to stop the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. "The police were heroes that day: Donald Trump lacked the courage to act," Biden said in taped remarks to the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives Conference.
"The brave women and men in blue all across the nation should never forget that. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can't be pro-insurrection and pro-American." His remarks for the Florida event included jabs at other prominent Republicans in the state such as Governor Ron DeSantis, a rising star in the party regarded as a possible presidential contender. "In the state you're in today, Governor DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rick Scott all opposed banning assault weapons," said Biden, who has been recuperating from COVID in isolation at the White House.
Biden generally refrains from discussing his political foes by name. Trump and DeSantis have both flirted with the possibility of challenging Biden in the 2024 elections. Midterm elections on Nov. 8 will determine whether Biden's Democratic Party retains control of Congress and are regarded as a test of the arguments that will be made to voters for and against a second, four-year term for Biden.
