On October 22, President Joe Biden labeled Donald Trump a threat to democracy during a campaign event in New Hampshire, urging Democrats to "lock him up" politically in order to win the upcoming election. Biden argued that Trump seeks to undermine the safeguards of the U.S. Constitution, asserting that democracy itself is at risk if Trump defeats Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. This rhetoric echoes Trump’s 2016 rallies, where supporters chanted "lock her up" regarding Hillary Clinton, a chant Trump did not discourage. Currently, some of Harris's supporters chant "lock him up" in reference to Trump, who has been convicted of 34 felony counts related to hush money payments and faces additional charges regarding the 2020 election. While Harris acknowledges these chants, she emphasizes that the Justice Department will handle legal issues, focusing instead on winning the election at the ballot box.
