Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:44:08 GMT

(CNN) — El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, dijo este martes ante donantes demócratas que no está seguro de si habría buscado la reelección en caso de que su predecesor Donald Trump no estuviera en la contienda por la Casa Blanca. Sus declaraciones revelan una evaluación notablemente sincera sobre la lógica de la carrera a la que se enfrenta, mientras entra en una probable revancha con su rival de 2020.“Si Trump no se hubiera postulado, no estoy seguro de si yo lo habría hecho entonces”, dijo. Y añadió que los demócratas “no pueden dejarlo (a Trump) ganar”.El comentario, que el presidente hizo durante un evento de recaudación de fondos a las afueras de Boston, ofreció quizás la razón más cruda hasta la fecha para la decisión de reelección de Biden. Además estas palabras ––que sugieren que Biden podría no haber buscado un segundo mandato si Trump estuviera fuera del mapa–– tomaron por sorpresa a algunos de los principales funcionarios y asesores ...

BOSTON (AP) — President Joe Biden told campaign donors Tuesday that he wasn’t sure he’d be running for reelection if Donald Trump wasn’t also in the race, warning that democracy is “more at risk in 2024” and that the former president and his allies are out to “destroy” democratic institutions.The president was using a trio of fundraisers to caution against what might happen should his predecessor again claim control of the White House, noting that Trump has described himself as his supporters’ “retribution” and has vowed to root out “vermin” in the country.“We’ve got to get it done, not because of me. … If Trump wasn’t running I’m not sure I’d be running. We cannot let him win,” Biden said, hitting the last words slowly for emphasis. Biden’s forceful rhetoric came as Trump, the current GOP front-runner, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost and is facing criminal charges connected to those efforts, attempted over the weekend to turn the tables by calling Biden ...
