FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — President Joe Biden delivered a searing indictment of Republican policies on Tuesday, charging they’re a threat to Social Security and Medicare, then delivering a closing argument aimed at mobilizing Florida voters to turn out for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist and Senate candidate Val Demings.
“It’s great to be with the next governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. It’s great to be with the next U.S. senator from Florida Val Demings. I know them both very well. Charlie’s a guy you know and trust,” Biden said during a 36-minute speech at a rally at Florida Memorial University.
Crist, he said, “was a great governor before and he’ll make an even greater governor again, because of who he’s running to replace.”
