Joe Biden slammed President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Trump criticized Biden’s record on trade as the White House contenders campaigned for votes in key Midwestern battleground states
MANITOWOC, Wis./DAYTON, Ohio - Democrat Joe Biden slammed U.S. President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Trump criticized Biden’s record on trade on Monday as the White House contenders battled for votes in key Midwestern battleground states.
“The simple truth is that Donald Trump ran for office saying he would represent the forgotten men and women of this country – and then once in office, he forgot them,” Biden said. “He betrayed you, he lied to you, he abused you. Which is why it’s time to retire Joe Biden,” he said.The two candidates’ speeches marked a return to the themes that dominated the race before the death on Friday of liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which has shifted the focus to the coming battle over confirming her replacement.
Biden said in Wisconsin that Trump could have saved lives with a mask mandate but continued to hold rallies without social distancing or people wearing masks, and worried too much about spooking financial markets.“He loves his rallies. But the next time he holds one, look closely. Trump keeps his distance,” he said. “He’s willing to let everyone in that crowd risk their life. But not him.”
