US President Joe Biden commented on Donald Trump's recent mug shot, saying the former president looked "handsome" in the photo taken after his brief arrest for felony charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Biden made the remark with a chuckle after an exercise class in Lake Tahoe. Despite the comment, Biden refrained from discussing Trump's legal issues, citing the importance of maintaining judicial independence.

Apart from the Georgia case, Trump also faces federal felony charges linked to election interference and handling classified documents. While being booked at the Fulton County jail, Biden used the moment to send a fundraising email to his supporters.

Biden mentioned that he watched over an hour of the first Republican debate, which didn't include Trump. He expressed his lack of satisfaction with the debate, saying it didn't address key issues and left him without significant takeaways.

Congressman Jamaal Bowman also reacted to Trump's mugshot, using it to fundraise for the Democratic effort to regain control of the House. Bowman's statement on social media highlighted the impact of the image on Trump's followers, potentially aiding his fundraising efforts and political aspirations.
