Biden says he's 'fine' with Trump's staying on the ballot for 2024

The president's comments come as the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments next week in a case that could determine Trump's ballot eligibility this year.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he thought it was "fine" for former President Donald Trump to remain on the ballot for this year's election.

In response to a reporter who asked whether Trump should "be allowed on the ballot," Biden said, “As far as I’m concerned, that’s fine.”

Biden made the remark shortly before he boarded Marine One for Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, from which he departed for a trip to Florida.

Last month, Biden said Trump “certainly supported an insurrection.”

“Whether the 14th Amendment applies, I’ll let the court make that decision,” he told reporters on Dec. 20.
