WASHINGTON — With an eye clearly on November's midterm elections, President Joe Biden on Wednesday sharpened his attack on Republicans as he sought to contrast his administration's policies with what he described as an "extreme" GOP agenda.
In prepared remarks touting his administration's deficit reduction efforts, Biden excoriated Republicans for pursuing policies in line with President Donald Trump's political movement and seized on an unpopular economic blueprint put forward by National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Rick Scott. Biden said the plan would raise taxes on millions of Americans.
"I don't want to hear Republicans talking about deficits and their ultra-MAGA agenda," he said, referring to Trump's Make America Great Again campaign slogan. "I want to hear about fairness. I want to hear about decency. I want to hear about helping ordinary people."
