Mary Trump joins Biden campaign in post-debate chat room

Mary Trump joins Biden campaign in post-debate chat room

Mary Trump, former President Trump’s niece, will join President Biden’s campaign in the Atlanta debate room following the CNN presidential debate.

A campaign official said Trump’s niece would join the discussion room because “when it comes to character, few people can speak better about Donald Trump than his family.”

“I’m in Atlanta tonight to remind everyone who Donald is as a person and how he would govern as President, because the stakes are too high for us to get this wrong: We cannot afford to let Donald Trump anywhere near the levers of power again,” Mary Trump said in a statement.

Mary Trump has long been critical of her uncle and published a book in 2020 titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

She spoke out after Trump’s conviction in his New York bribery case, saying that being held accountable “must have taken my breath away.”

She said in her statement Thursday that “Donald cannot be trusted and we must recognize that his last administration was a warm-up for much worse to come,” and she called January 6, 2021, “a dress rehearsal for a man who will stop at nothing to once again rise to the highest office in this land.”

“He is desperate for power and has proven himself both unworthy of wielding it and obsessed with regaining it solely for his own benefit. He must be stopped,” she added. “If the worst comes to the worst and Donald returns to the White House, none of those who criticized him will be safe, because vengeance and retaliation are what he seeks. I am here tonight because only President Biden can stop Donald and save our country.”

Other voices will join Team Biden in the discussion room, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who has been a staunch supporter of Biden’s reelection bid, even amid speculation that he could take the president’s place if he drops out of the race.

Additionally, the campaign said Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) would be in the discussion room, as well as former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D), who was just named a senior adviser to Biden.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and former Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), who served in the Biden White House, will also be in the discussion room.

“Donald Trump’s room to maneuver will be somewhat limited tonight, given that the people who know him best do not believe he is fit to be commander in chief,” Biden’s communications director, Michael Tyler, said in a statement. “President Biden’s team, by contrast, will be a united show of force.”

Several Biden campaign officials will be in the discussion room, along with a group of content creators and influencers touting the president’s performance in the first presidential debate.
