Two TIME interviews, two very different visions for our country and the world.
On the cover of the magazine, Trump, sitting alone surrounded by his own dark, demented retribution.
In his interview, Trump:
- Bragged about raising costs for millions of Americans
- Endorsed every single extreme abortion ban, tracking of women’s pregnancies, and refused to say he wouldn’t ban contraception
- Celebrated his followers wanting him to be a dictator
- Outlined violence if he loses and retribution if he wins
- Said the 2020 election was stolen
- Promised to consider pardons for violent rioters who attacked law enforcement
- Outlined his plans to turn the military and law enforcement against Americans and rip families apart
- Shredded the world order and empowered dictators
- Would not support a two-state solution in Israel-Palestine
On the cover of the magazine, Joe Biden, standing at the resolute desk, the only person standing between Donald Trump and his destruction of America and democracy around the world.
In his interview, Joe Biden defended democracy, our rights, and the world’s future.
- Stood up for American leadership, “We are the world power.”
- Discussed strengthening our alliances around the world
- Outlined his strong record on the economy
- Proudly highlighted his record of accomplishment
- On January 6: “It made me realize just how fundamentally what he allowed to happen sitting in this room, looking at that television for three hours and didn’t do a damn thing, said about America, and how much confidence people lost in America.”
- On democracy in the world: “My democracy and their democracy is at stake. My democracy is at stake.”
- On dictators supporting Trump: “Everybody, all the bad guys are rooting for Trump, man. Not a joke. Think about it. Think about it.”
Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer issued the following statement:
“Today’s TIME interview makes clear the only person standing between Donald Trump’s dark, extreme, and chaotic version of America is Joe Biden. In one interview, readers see Joe Biden – the protector and defender of what George Washington declared was a ‘sacred cause’ – the idea of America, its freedom, liberty, and democracy. In the other interview, readers see a failed and dishonest convicted felon, so consumed by his own revenge and retribution and unhinged that he’d do anything just to get power. That’s the choice for voters this November.”
