Clinton Praises Biden for Stepping Aside After Stumbling Debate Performance
In an interview with the BBC, Hillary Clinton commended Joe Biden for his decision to stand aside in the US presidential election following his shaky debate performance against Donald Trump. She stated, “Once that debate happened, he could not recover and he did the right thing,” during an appearance on Radio 4’s Today program.
Democrats’ Ineffectiveness in Addressing Trump Supporters’ Concerns
Clinton also expressed her views on the Democratic party’s failure to effectively communicate their plans for addressing the economic concerns of Trump supporters. She emphasized the importance of reaching out to this demographic.
The Stakes of the Election
Highlighting the significance of the upcoming election, Clinton stated that the future of democracy is on the line. She urged Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to defeat Donald Trump and “break the fever that he has caused in our political system.”
Global Implications of the US Election
Clinton emphasized that the outcome of the election will have far-reaching repercussions beyond the US, impacting issues such as support for Ukraine and efforts to achieve stability in the Middle East.
Criticism of Trump’s Immigration Policies
Clinton also criticized Trump’s proposed mass deportation of illegal immigrants, calling it a draconian measure. She expressed concern over the potential military presence in US cities to enforce this policy.
“He is going to have a military presence [in US cities] to achieve his goals,” Clinton said on Monday. “If you look a certain way, if you talk a certain way, you will be subject to these Draconian measures.” — BBC
