Biden’s remarks at an event in Burlington, Iowa, will come as President Trump visits El Paso and Dayton, the sites of mass shootings last weekend.

As President Donald Trump travels Wednesday to El Paso, Texas, former Vice President Joe Biden will draw a direct link between his inflammatory rhetoric on immigration and Saturday’s mass shooting in the border city, saying the president has “aligned himself with the darkest forces in the nation.”

Biden will note how past presidents have “stepped up” in moments that tested the nation, including George W. Bush visiting a mosque shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks and Barack Obama’s singing “Amazing Grace” at a memorial service for victims of the Mother Emanuel AME shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. But “we don’t have that today,” Biden will say.

The FBI also said it was investigating whether the Dayton shooter was “exploring violent ideologies” before he allegedly murdered nine people at a downtown entertainment district.in a televised address to the nation Monday after the shootings, saying,"These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America."

Speaking at a fundraiser in Colorado Tuesday night, Biden said he never expected Trump would be a good president, but “I had no idea that he would be as banal, mean and bad as he is,” adding that white nationalism and bigotry were dividing the country under his leadership.
