Rapper Plies expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden‘s performance during the presidential debate against former President Donald Trump on June 27. In a video shared on his social media, Plies voiced his frustration, emphasizing that the American public expected Biden to decisively counter Trump’s antics, which he described as a mockery of democracy.
According to Plies, the debate was Biden’s chance to showcase strong leadership and decisively distance himself from Trump, who, according to Plies, consistently lies and lacks substantive policies. However, Biden’s performance fell short of expectations. Plies highlighted that despite widespread disapproval of Trump, Biden still needs to prove his commitment to protect America from the potential harm of another Trump term.
In his passionate plea, Plies also addressed the broader implications of Trump‘s candidacy, particularly after being found guilty on multiple counts of falsifying business records. He pointed out the irony of Trump’s eligibility to run for presidency despite his convictions, suggesting a provocative strategy for African Americans and convicted felons to push for legislative change by running for office themselves.
Plies’ comments reflect a broader concern among some voters about the need for vigorous and principled leadership in the face of political and social challenges. His call to action underscores the importance of integrity and accountability in American politics.
