He argued the court has never been so “out of step” as it is now and suggested the trend would continue under a second Trump presidency.When asked by Kimmel what people should do if they fear their rights are under threat, Biden responded: “Elect me again.”“The next president is likely to have two new Supreme Court nominees. Two more,” he added before referring to Trump. “He’s already appointed two that have been very negative in terms of the rights of individuals.
He added that Trump’s influence on the court would be “one of the scariest parts” of his return to power, saying: “The fact of the matter is that this has never been a court that’s been this far out of step.”The decisions made by the court today are “a by-product” of the 2016 election and voters who “sat out,” the president continued.
“They said, ‘Well, we’re not enthusiastic enough. We’re not feeling inspired enough. Why bother?’” Biden said. “And hopefully, we have learned our lesson because these elections matter in very concrete ways. And we’re now seeing how much it matters when it comes to the Supreme Court.”By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
