Biden Campaign Immediately Fundraises Off Trump Immunity Ruling, Warns of Trump’s ‘Unhinged’ ‘Quest For Power’

ABC News’s Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang reported Monday on the reaction from the Biden 2024 campaign to the Supreme Court’s decision in Donald Trump’s immunity case.

Wang noted that while the Supreme Court decided in Trump’s favor and gave the former president and all future presidents immunity for any official act made as president, the Biden campaign also has reason to celebrate.

“For the Biden campaign, this case underscores the core theme of President Biden’s reelection. The stakes of this, their message that Trump is a threat to democracy, somebody who is obsessed with power. And in a statement that they just sent over, they said, look, today’s ruling does not change the facts,” Wang reported, adding:

So let’s be very clear about what happened on January 6th. Donald Trump snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon.

Now, the campaign has also been warning that if Trump gets a second term, there will only be darker days ahead, that he will continue to try and shield himself from prosecution with. This campaign has been saying now for quite some time that Trump wants the power of a king or a monarch to have absolute power without accountability. So the Supreme Court decision today does not change their messaging on those points.

The Biden campaign put out a statement after the ruling saying, “Since January 6, Trump has only grown more unhinged. He’s promising to be a dictator ‘on day one,’ calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain power, and promising a “bloodbath” if he loses. The American people already rejected Donald Trump’s self-obsessed quest for power once – Joe Biden will make sure they reject it for good in November.” The Biden campaign also began fundraising off the ruling, sending out a mailer Monday afternoon with the subject line, “The Supreme Court just gave Trump what he wanted.”
