President Joe Biden has labeled former President Donald Trump a threat to democracy, urging Americans to donate to his campaign to prevent Trump from being re-elected in the upcoming November 5 presidential election.
Biden made his plea for donations on his official X handle, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions.
Sharing a link to his campaign donation portal on X Friday, Mr Biden wrote, “Donald Trump is threatening our democracy. First, he questioned our election system. Then, he questioned our judicial system.”
The portal prominently featured Trump’s photo and slogans such as “Save democracy, stop Trump, donate.”
The call for donations on Biden’s campaign site further reads,“We must stop Donald Trump. Trump and his MAGA extremist allies pose an existential threat to the future of our democracy and our nation. We’re counting on this team to invest in the necessary resources to stop him. Donate now.”
In contrast, Trump’s campaign raised $52.8 million within six hours following a jury’s conviction on Thursday.

Trump was found guilty on 34 counts related to concealing payments and information about an alleged sexual indiscretion with porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
Dismissing the conviction, Trump described the trial as a “rigged trial by a corrupt judge.”
“This was a disgrace,” Mr Trump stated. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who is corrupt.”
“The real verdict is going to be November 5 by the people. And they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here,” he added.
Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11, just days before the Republican convention, where he is anticipated to secure the party’s nomination for the presidential race.
