Biden's 'Lock Him Up' Comment on Trump Sparks Controversy

President Biden clarified that his remark about locking up Trump was meant politically, not literally, amid heated campaign exchanges.

President Joe Biden made the controversial comment during a campaign event in New Hampshire, urging supporters to 'politically lock up' former President Donald Trump.
The phrase 'lock him up' quickly spread on social media, with some interpreting it as a call for Trump's incarceration.
Former President Trump responded at a rally in Arizona, criticizing Biden's comment as inappropriate and labeling Biden 'stupid.'
Biden's team clarified that the comment was intended to mean defeating Trump at the ballot box, not through legal means.
Trump's legal team cited Biden's remark in a motion to dismiss charges related to the 2020 election interference case.
