In an interview with reporters upon his return to the White House after a trip to North Carolina, Biden said He called his rival “president” twice before being corrected and saying “expresident.”.
When asked by Globo correspondent Raquel Krähenbühl about Trump's victory in the Republican Party primaries in Iowa, Biden responded for the first time:
“I don’t think Iowa means anything. The president got about 50,000 votes, the fewest votes ever for anyone who won (the election).”
Then, when asked about US voters of Arab descent who said they would not vote for Joe Biden because of his support for Israel's war in Gaza, he replied:
“The president… the former president wants to ban Arabs from entering the United States. I’m not sure how much he understands about the Arab population.”
The interview took place shortly after Biden got off Marine One, the official helicopter of the President of the United States. At this point the aircraft was still on and generating electricity a lot of outside noise.
Donald Trump wins the Iowa GOP primary
Although he is responding to four lawsuits in the US, Donald Trump, who ruled the country from 2017 to 2021, is considered the Republican Party's primary candidate for president.
On Monday (15th) he clearly won the vote in the first previews of the election campaign in Iowa. Trump is also considered the favorite in the next Republican elections, which will take place next week in the state of New Hampshire.
In the United States, voting is indirect voters choose the representatives of the candidates they want to elect in polls conducted by each state. Whoever has the most representatives, also known as delegates, wins the argument.
