President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is mocking former President Donald Trump as "Sleepy Don" following reports that he fell asleep at multiple points during his New York criminal hush-money trial this week.
Trump, who is expected to face Biden in a rematch in November as the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, was observed by reporters and others in the courtroom purportedly falling asleep during jury selection this week. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money paid to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
The 77-year-old Trump has repeatedly referred to Biden as "Sleepy Joe" in the past and continues to frequently suggest that the 81-year-old president is too tired or "cognitively impaired" to serve in the Oval Office. Trump opponents have made similar claims about the ex-president. The former president's purported courtroom naps this weekmultiple reporters and courtroom observers said they observed him dozing off on all but one of the first four days of the trialhave given the Biden campaign ammunition to turn the tables on Trump.
In a press release titled "Verdict's In: Sleepy Don Has a Nightmare Week," the Biden campaign on Friday touted the president's recent campaigning in Pennsylvania and his endorsement by most members of the Kennedy family before mocking the former president for using his trial to get "some shut-eye."
