ANALYSIS — In a tactical shift, President Joe Biden has gone from using appearances to defend his own record and plans for four more years to warning about policies Donald Trump has vowed to implement if he gets a second term. Trump, meanwhile, has continued a largely grievance-based campaign.
“I have the wounds all over my body. If I took this shirt off you’d see a beautiful, beautiful person but you’d see wounds all over me,” the twice-impeached and once-convicted former president told evangelicals in Washington on Saturday. “I’ve taken a lot of wounds, I can tell you. More than I suspect any president ever.”
Biden often wraps official White House events with criticism of Trump on everything from abortion access to trade to immigration to taxes to health care to preserving democracy. And at campaign events, Biden focuses remarks at big-dollar fundraisers by going into detail about what he believes Trump returning to power would mean for the country.
