Biden on Trump 14 days before 2024 election: ‘We gotta lock him up!’ –Biden called for Trump to be jailed during an appearance on Tuesday. | 22 Oct 2024 | Joe Biden stunned listeners Tuesday by saying his predecessor Donald Trump should be locked up — 14 days before the presidential election in which Trump is the Republican nominee. “If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up: We gotta lock him up,” Biden, 81, said during a visit to a Democratic campaign office in Concord, New Hampshire, the Granite State’s capital. After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added in an apparent backtrack attempt: “politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”
