At the White House on Friday, Biden told reporters, "it's reckless, it's dangerous, it's irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don't like the verdict." He repeated those comments on Monday and suggested Trump is not mentally well.
"Something snapped in this guy for real" after the 2020 election, Biden said. "It's literally driving him crazy."
He told the audience Trump "does not deserve to be president whether or not I'm running."
Throughout most of Trump's New York trial, Biden and his campaign held back from attacking the presumptive Republican nominee over his criminal charges. It appeared to be an effort to combat Trump's repeated unsubstantiated allegations that it was a "SHAM TRIAL instigated and prosecuted directly from the inner halls of the White House and DOJ [Department of Justice]."

"Crooked Joe Biden will do anything to distract from Hunter’s trial and the fact his family has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine," said Jason Miller, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign. "The Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit."
Biden currently trails Trump both in national polling and in public opinion surveys in most of the crucial battleground states that will likely decide their election rematch.
