Biden Stays Silent on Trump's Indictment While Focusing on Jobs and Challenges Ahead

President Joe Biden refrained from commenting on Donald Trump's indictment by a Manhattan grand jury, as he entered office promising to respect prosecutors' independence. Instead, Biden is running a re-election campaign in everything but name, using the power of incumbency to draw an implicit contrast between himself and Trump that could prove useful if they end up facing each other. Biden is undertaking a 20-state tour to showcase new programs to create jobs and strengthen the economy, while Trump is expected to be arraigned in New York next week.
