U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife Jill take part in a virtual meeting on reopening schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic, in Wilmington, Del., on Sept. 2, 2020.Joe Biden is hammering President Donald Trump’s handling of the virus outbreak ahead of a planned trip to Wisconsin, a pivotal swing state that’s becoming a focal point for political debate over protest-related violence.
The Wilmington event is the latest in a series of duelling efforts by Trump and Biden to cast the other as a threat to Americans’ day-to-day security. It will highlight their vastly different arguments, with Trump steering debate toward “law and order” and Biden pushing a broad referendum on Trump’s competence.
Trump put his approach on display again Tuesday on a trip to Kenosha, a city still reeling from protests and violence after Blake was shot. The president praised local law enforcement and toured a block charred by protesters’ fire. He called the destruction “anti-American” and suggested Biden’s election would ensure similar scenes in U.S. cities across the country.
Some Democrats have quietly worried that recent violence might boost Trump’s prospects, even as his manoeuvres do nothing to quell unrest or perhaps even feed it. Biden’s team downplays such concerns, insisting the former vice-president simply must counter with steady warnings that Trump is dangerously inept. They see that as an umbrella argument for any number of scenarios – including a discussion of how to reopen schools.
Republicans for Biden!
