@JoeBiden
: "When I was Vice President, violent crime fell 15% in this country. We did it without chaos and disorder...The murder rate is up 26% in cities across the nation this year under Donald Trump. Do you feel really safer under Trump?"
Because of Trump's mismanagement during the pandemic, 3 million Americans have been infected, over 140,000 have died, and tens of millions have lost their jobs.
But Donald Trump only expressed sympathy for two people today: Ghislaine Maxwell and Ron DeSantis.

#Biden2020
On March 19 - the exact same day that Trump admitted to Bob Woodward, "I wanted to always play it down" - Joe Biden warned that Trump was downplaying COVID-19 and that it made him "unfit to lead us through this crisis."
The words of a president matter, and Donald Trump has used his to downplay COVID-19 and mislead the American people. He is unfit to lead us through this crisis.

@JoeBiden
would be our second Catholic president ever. He regularly attends mass and has spoken movingly about the strength his faith gave him in moments of grief. Where were these Republican senators when Trump outrageously attacked Biden's faith, saying he'd "hurt God?"

Radical protestors, fueled by a week of apocalyptic media coverage, interfered with

supporters at the rally.
They even blocked access to the metal detectors, preventing people from entering.
Thanks to the 1,000s who made it anyway!
When Joe Biden says we are in a battle for the soul of our nation against vile forces of hate who have come crawling out from under rocks, you are the epitome of what he means. What you stand for is absolutely repugnant. Your support is 10,000% percent unwelcome here.
@MattRayLiberty
I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on “accelerationism” or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people.
WP Fact Checker: "There is broad agreement among the five tax models that Biden’s tax increase would fall almost entirely on the very wealthy...Overall, Biden’s $400,000 pledge holds up well, especially when considering the impact on individual taxpayers."

Biden, 2/26: "Were I president now, I would not be taking China's word for it."
Trump, 2/29: "China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down."

"Over 100 Ex-Staff Members for John McCain Endorse Joe Biden"
"Romney 2012 staffers unite behind effort to elect Joe Biden"
"More than 100 Bush-McCain-Romney alums go for Biden"
For nearly three years we have been building a juggernaut campaign (Death Star). It is firing on all cylinders. Data, Digital, TV, Political, Surrogates, Coalitions, etc.
In a few days we start pressing FIRE for the first time.

Trump owes the Bank of China millions for helping him acquire one of his most valuable properties. The loan comes due in the middle of the next presidential term.
Remember how much he echoed Chinese government propaganda about the virus being contained?

@JoeBiden
: "You know what is actually threatening our suburbs? Wildfires are burning the suburbs in the West. Floods are wiping out suburban neighborhoods in the Midwest. Hurricanes are imperiling suburban life along our coasts."
If you were wondering why President Drink Bleach has botched the response for 7 straight months:
In 1917 "the great pandemic certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 150 million people. Probably ended the second world war. All the soldiers were sick."
I realize that this must be disorienting for everyone at the "Death Star," but it actually used to be very commonplace for presidents to go to churches without tear gassing innocent people (and to even go inside).

@JoeBiden
: "When the president decided he had to walk across from the White House through a group of peaceful demonstrators to an Episcopal church to hold a Bible upside down -- which, I don't know how often he reads...it was about, as his own people say...dividing the country."
“Biden wrote an op-ed warning about the virus on Jan. 27 and began speaking about the issue on the campaign trail...Trump, meanwhile, told CNBC on Jan. 22 that the virus was ‘totally under control’ and that he trusted Xi to handle the outbreak.”
There is only one candidate in this race who has condemned violence regardless of whether it comes from the right, left, or anywhere else. It's the same candidate that polls show Americans trust to make them safer: Joe Biden.

@JoeBiden

If Joe Biden did anything close to that, it would be on every nightly news broadcast.
I have my own theories about what’s behind editors’ giant, warped - and effectively partisan - double standard.
But the bottom line is, the double standard needs to end.

@NicolleDWallace
gets it 💯: "I think that he changed the dynamics of this race. When he said, 'while I will be a Democratic candidate, I will be an American president,' he now - as the challenger to an incumbent - is the guy running on the side of the whole country."
Based on this, I'd recommend a hearing test.
Based on how this week you smeared Joe Biden for comforting his grandchildren at their father's funeral, I'd recommend you find God and reevaluate your entire pathetic, gilded latrine of a life.
This is ridiculous already. How can they let this guy possibly be the leader of anything let alone the leader of the free world?
These daily mistakes are not gaffes they are a serious issue for someone who could have the nuclear football, they show a lapse of basic reasoning.

Chris Wallace: "The fact is...Vice President Biden has actually released his tax returns - unlike president Trump - and there is no indication he ever got any money from anybody in these business deals."
Like Joe Biden said, "Mr. President, release your tax returns or shut up."
Trump sold out our health and economy because he wanted a re-election talking point on trade. He ignored the warnings about the Chinese government's lies - including from Joe Biden. Now over 60,000 Americans are dead and more than 30 million are jobless.
Trump disregarded warning after warning, and trusted the Chinese government over even his own intelligence experts. He didn't listen when Joe Biden called on him to lead. Now over 60,000 Americans have died and more than 30 million are out of work.
Winston-Salem is my hometown. And Trump just slipped and told us what he really thinks about it: he wouldn't have "bothered" to come if he wasn't botching the COVID-19 response.
"I probably would have not been here tonight. I would have said, no, we don't have to bother."

Biden 2020 alums know better than most that the media overstates the importance of polling.
