Delaware: Amid the war of words between the Democratic and Republican parties, United States President Joe Biden slammed former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC), terming it a “dark vision for the future.” He also vowed to resume the campaign trail next week to “save democracy,” The Hill reported. Biden has been quarantined at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home after testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday while he was campaigning in Las Vegas.
In a statement, Biden said that Trump’s remarks at the RNC on Thursday night focused on his own grievances and had no plans to make life better for working people.
“Last night the American people saw the same Donald Trump they rejected four years ago. For over 90 minutes, he focused on his own grievances, with no plan to unite us and no plan to make life better for working people,” Biden said on Friday.
He insisted that he would again defeat Trump in November amid growing calls for the president to drop out of the race.
Calls from Democrat members became louder on Friday, when Senator Martin Heinrich became the third Democratic senator to call for Biden to move aside, and four House Democrats issued a joint statement urging the president to end his reelection bid.
In a statement, Biden said, “Donald Trump’s dark vision for the future is not who we are as Americans. Together, as a party and as a country, we can and will defeat him at the ballot box,” The Hill reported.
He further said, “I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone.”
Biden also said that Trump “avoided mentioning his Project 2025 agenda, but still proudly flaunted the worst of MAGA extremism,” echoing the response from his campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, to the former president’s speech at the convention Thursday night.
O’Malley Dillon said Trump did not mention Project 2025 even once. The Biden campaign has tried to connect Trump to the controversial conservative policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation, while Trump and his team have aggressively attempted to distance themselves from it, The Hill reported.
Former US President Donald Trump kicked off his re-election campaign with an energetic oration at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee this past Thursday evening. Trump lambasted the Democrats for their relentless pursuit of him and his family, stressing on the crucial need to place America’s enhancement as a top priority.
“Enough with the Subpoenas, Let’s Focus on America ‘Don and others faced countless subpoenas from Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. They must stop this, as it’s harming our country. We need to focus on making America great again, not beating people. We won against impeachments and indictments, but the time wasted is damaging. If that effort went towards helping America, we’d be much stronger,” he said.
During his speech to the Republican audience, Trump confidently stood by his sidekick and Senator from Ohio, JD Vance. Accepting his nomination, Trump affirmed his dedication to serve as a President for everyone across the nation.
“I am running to be President for all America, not half of America because there is no victory in winning for half of America. So, tonight with faith and devotion I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States, In 4 months we will have an incredible victory. We will launch a new era of peace and prosperity, for all religions, people and creeds. I will be the president of all of America and not of half of America because there is no victory by half,” Trump said.
