The files affair has added to Joe Biden. Difficult weeks are coming for the US President. And soon the decision will be made: Should he run for election again in 2024?
If you ask people in California about Joe Biden’s files affair, the most common reaction is: Biden is not that much better than Trump. Both took confidential documents with them. Both have a check on their throat. Both are old white men with a lot of legacy.
Some respondents, especially Democrats, point to the obvious differences that the Biden government has been emphasizing for days: Trump hid the documents, Biden did not. Trump hoarded more than a hundred, Biden just a few. Trump claimed they belonged to him – Biden did not. In the case of Trump, the raid took place at the instigation of the Justice Department, in the case of Biden voluntarily.
