DALLAS (AP) — President Joe Biden opened a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, asking and answering the classic “are you better off today than you were four years ago” question to remind voters of what it was like when Trump was president.
“Folks, we can’t stand for this,” Biden said in his first public comments on Trump's “bloodbath” claim. ”We have to say it as Americans, as Democrats, as independents, as Republicans, that there’s no place for political violence … ever. Period.”
Biden sought to turn the tables on Trump with the “better off” riff.
