Internet divided as Joe Biden targets Supreme Court's immunity ruling in his first post-debate interview

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: President Joe Biden has sounded the alarms after a Supreme Court ruling granted extensive immunity from prosecution for former President Donald Trump on Monday, July 1.

This comes in the wake of his dismal debate performance with his predecessor last month, with the 81-year-old incumbent expressing concerns surrounding the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s decision on American democracy, per Newsweek.

"The stakes are really high," President Biden remarked during his first post-debate interview with Milwaukee radio host Earl Ingram on Wednesday. "Democracy, freedom, and our economy are all on the line."

What did Joe Biden say regarding the SCOTUS’ decision this week?

President Joe Biden has responded to the Supreme Court ruling, which many experts believe will have a significant impact on the rule of law in the United States.

The court's conservative majority has decided that former President Trump and other United States presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts while in office.

This decision has sparked controversy and debate across the political spectrum.

In the radio interview, the Commander-in-Chief criticized the ruling, stating, "It gave Trump complete power to use his office to seek revenge, organize a coup, and rule as a dictator because of what they gave him."

The Democrat statesman's comments come as his campaign team aims to recover from his recent debate outing, which some analysts described as a major misstep.

During the CNN debate, President Biden’s voice sounded raspy and hoarse and he had difficulty with his responses, raising concerns among prospective voters and leading some Democrats to suggest he reconsider his candidacy.

In his first public appearance since the debate, Joe Biden acknowledged making a “mistake."

"I had a bad night. And the fact of the matter is that I screwed up. I made a mistake," he said.

Following the debate, some Democrats have urged the POTUS to withdraw from the presidential election due to concerns surrounding his age.

Polls conducted before the debate revealed that age was a significant concern for voters regarding Joe Biden, who is 81 years old.

Despite the challenges, President Biden remains determined to stay in the race, declaring, "I'm going to win this election" in the interview with Ingram.

President Biden's poor debate performance has been attributed to a cold by his campaign team, and some medical experts have cautioned that his debate performance may not necessarily indicate cognitive decline.

To alter the narrative, the White House has announced multiple campaign stops in battleground states, a forthcoming solo press conference at the NATO summit in Washington, DC, and a televised interview with ABC News on Friday.

The Democratic National Committee is scheduled to formally nominate President Joe Biden at their convention in Chicago on August 19.

Internet divided as Joe Biden targets the Supreme Court immunity ruling

One X user remarked, "The only alarm 'ol joe should be sounding is the nurses' call button."

Another user said, "He is basically a gourd and you are talking about the supreme court?"

Another user quipped, "I’m sure he spoke coherently."

"As a judge, they shouldn't belong to any political party, otherwise, the court could become a dictatorship," one X user argued. 

Another user wrote, "Rich people ruin everything."

A user tweeted, "President Biden did the most humble and honorable thing. He addressed the nation reassuring them that he WILL NOT ABUSE the power handed down by SCOTUS. Trump would NEVER do that. Trump rest ASSURE will use it for revenge. USE AND ABUSE IT. A very dangerous precedent. SCOTUS."
