Biden Drops Mask – ‘We Gotta Lock Trump Up!’
President Joe Biden sparked outrage and shocked voters Tuesday when, during a visit to a Democratic campaign office, he issued a call to lock up his former opponent Donald Trump. Biden’s comments come just two weeks before election day, as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump remain neck-and-neck in the polls.
While Harris has avoided making direct comments about jailing the former President, Biden spoke with no hesitation. While visiting the campaign office in Concord, New Hampshire, he gave a short speech criticizing Trump as a threat to American democracy.
“I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up,” Biden told his Democratic audience. “We got to lock him up.”
Biden’s words were met with immediate applause around the room. Several seconds passed before Biden apparently realized his mistake.
“Politically lock him up,” Biden said, backtracking. “Lock him out. That’s what we have to do.”
The Trump campaign quickly fired back at Biden, describing his comments as a mask-off moment.
“Joe Biden just admitted the truth: he and Kamala’s plan all along has been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can’t beat him fair and square,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
“The Harris-Biden Admin is the real threat to democracy. We call on Kamala Harris to condemn Joe Biden’s disgraceful remark.”

In 2023, former President Trump was charged on 44 criminal accounts in two cases under Biden’s Department of Justice. The first case, related to alleged mishandling of classified documents, was dismissed by a Florida judge last July. The second case, relating to alleged election obstruction, remains pending.
Trump also awaits sentencing for his May 2024 conviction in New York, which is scheduled for three weeks after election day.
During an appearance in Pennsylvania last week, Biden suggested that Trump was “running to stay out of jail.”
“This is the ‘tell’ as to why the Democrat machine has been feverishly working to imprison Trump,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk wrote on X. “It’s all been intentional.”

Biden has repeatedly denied the White House’s involvement in the prosecution of Trump. However, after Trump decided to launch his re-election bid in 2022, the Biden administration quickly moved to investigate Trump. Just three days the Trump campaign was announced on Nov. 15, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate Trump.
That same month, Biden told voters that he planned to “make sure” that Trump did not become President again.
“We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power, if he does run, making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again.”
