Trump claims Democrats 'stole' election nomination from Biden: 'Like candy from a baby'

Trump, Biden

Donald Trump on Tuesday (Oct 15) alleged that the Democratic Party's 2024 US Election nomination "was stolen" from President Joe Biden and that there was a division among the Democratic Party leaders.

'Like candy from a baby'

Speaking during a visit to Atlanta, Trump, the former US President and Republican presidential nominee, remarked, "They did something to Biden that was amazing. They stole the election from him."

Trump said he was not a fan of Biden, but that Democrats "took it (the nomination) away like candy from a baby." However, he did not name anyone specifically.

"I mean, I'm not a fan of Biden, who could be? But they stole the election. They took it away like candy from a baby. And and he's angry. And they're all angry. They're angry as hell."

The Republican nominee also alleged that Biden doesn't like Trump's political rival and Democratic Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

"I think he likes me more than he likes her. Can you believe it?"

Why did Biden abandon the White House race?

Joe Biden abandoned his reelection bid in July, endorsing Harris in his place. This happened amid political pressure after Biden's disastrous performance in the presidential debate against Trump.

In the wake of a disastrous performance at the June 27 presidential debate, Biden had faced calls to step aside, from his own Democratic Party, media, and donors. Despite that, the leader stayed in the race for weeks. Ultimately, Biden decided to drop his campaign. Stepping aside, on July 21 he endorsed Harris for the race against the Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump.
