President Joe Biden plans to press his economic case for reelection at a campaign kickoff rally, setting up a contrast with now twice-indicted Republican rival Donald Trump.
Biden on Saturday is expected to tout his domestic achievements and argue they’ve fueled economic growth, a hot jobs market and gains for the middle class, according to a campaign official who requested anonymity to preview the message the president will deliver to union members in Philadelphia.
The economic focus aims to help Biden frame the election as a choice between himself and Republicans, while skirting the legal drama surrounding Trump. The president has been careful not to comment on the criminal charges against his predecessor, wary it could play into GOP allegations the prosecution is politically motivated.
