MIAMI — President Joe Biden made a last-minute pitch Tuesday to Florida voters to reject the state’s top GOP leaders in the Nov. 8 election and emphasized to donors the state’s ongoing importance in national politics during a jam-packed day trip to South Florida to boost Democrats on the ballot.
Speaking at three separate events, Biden singled out Republican lawmakers like U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling them “extreme” and saying his administration’s accomplishments, access to abortion and democracy itself are at stake if Republicans maintain control in states like Florida and regain power in Washington.
“Seven days until the most important election of our lifetime,” Biden said during an evening rally attended by thousands at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens. “You’ve heard me say it before, we’re at an inflection point in history.”
