Joe Biden pitches himself as a uniter even as he tears into Trump
PHILADELPHIA – Former Vice President Joe Biden sought to promote himself as a uniter of the country in a wide-ranging speech here on Saturday, even as he launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump.
But even as Biden said, “Let’s stop fighting and start fixing,” he harked back to his experience with Obama and said it was the former president who passed on a good economy to Trump. That economy, Biden said, “was given to him, just like he’s inherited everything else in his life.” Trump has homed in on Biden as a competitor, noting Pennsylvania’s record-low unemployment and charging that China would rather negotiate with the former vice president “or one of the very weak Democrats” who hope to win the presidency. Trump is planning a “Make America Great Again” rally in Montoursville, Pa., on Monday night.
When accounting for tariffs on imported Chinese materials and tariffs related to an anti-dumping ruling involving Minnesota-based quartz company Cambria, Skalish estimates his company will be asked to shell out about $2 million. “He’s a union man. We’re a union family,” said Deirdre Dignetti, a medical assistant from Northeast Philadelphia. “The Trump tax cuts — that’s ridiculous,” said her husband Dave. “That’s gotta get reversed.”
