Joe Biden Has Started His Anti-Trump Campaign – Former President Donald Trump may not officially be the Republican 2024 presidential nominee, but President Joe Biden seems to think he will be.
After months of largely avoiding mentioning the former president’s name, while the Biden Department of Justice announced a historic indictment against him, Team Biden has finally come out swinging against the man they think Biden will go head-to-head with again next year.
Just hours before the former president was set to appear in a primetime interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Biden’s campaign issued a statement slamming the former president for avoiding debates and accepting only “softball townhalls.”
The statement also took aim at President Trump’s record on manufacturing in the United States.
“One year from today, Republicans will be wrapping up their convention in Wisconsin, just miles away from where former President Trump promised his ‘America First’ agenda would bring 13,000 manufacturing jobs and a new Foxconn plant to the state,” Biden campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz said.
Munoz also criticized the former president for failing to return to Wisconsin, the state in which the GOP will announce its nominee at the Republican National Convention next year.
“The former president has yet to go back to Wisconsin since announcing his campaign, nor has he provided an explanation for his failure to deliver on his promised American manufacturing boom,” Munoz said.
The swipes deliberately took aim at former President Donald Trump’s campaign pledges to return manufacturing to the United States – an issue the former president championed throughout his four years in the White House.
The comments are not only a sign that the Biden campaign is preparing to start fresh attacks on the former president and his record, but also offer an insight into how his team intend to fight. While Trump focuses on mass immigration, Woke progressivism, and enacting revenge on the Deep State, President Joe Biden hopes that he can convince Americans of his own America First credentials.
Joe Biden Does Softball Interviews, Too
If Trump is guilty of taking softball interviews, then so is President Joe Biden. Throughout his 2020 presidential campaign and even during his time in the White House, the president has faced intense criticism from Republicans for refusing to take questions from reporters in the White House briefing room and sitting down for softball interviews with left-leaning journalists.
In June this year, the president was criticized for his bizarre behavior during a “softball” MSNBC interview with Nicole Wallace.
As the interview came to an end, the president got out of his seat and wandered across the set as Wallace brought the discussion to a close.
