On July 1, 2024, President Biden harshly criticized the Supreme Court's ruling favorable to Trump. The ruling may grant Trump immunity protection as president, leading Biden to criticize the potential of Trump overriding the law. The ruling stated that actions conducted by a president in office, based on constitutional authority, are protected by immunity, but actions undertaken in a personal capacity are not. Biden expressed concern that the ruling may prevent accountability for Trump's role in the Capitol riots before the November presidential election, condemning the potential effects on America's legal foundation. This statement by Biden marks his first address at the White House since a recent poor debate performance, as his administration attempts to shift focus back to Trump amidst concerns about Biden's ability to serve another four years.
