Biden, in a special evening address from the White House Cross Hall, said the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the November election regarding Trump's role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
"Now, because of today's decision that is highly, highly unlikely. It's a terrible disservice to the people of this nation," Biden said, adding that Americans will "have to do what the courts should have been willing to do but were not."
"The American people will have to render a judgment about Donald Trump's behavior," he said. "The American people will have to decide whether Donald Trump's assault on our democracy on January 6 makes him unfit for public office. The American people must decide if Trump's embrace of violence to preserve his power is acceptable."
He added: "Perhaps most importantly, the American people must decide if they want to entrust the presidency once again to Donald Trump now knowing he will be even more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it."
