President Joe Biden took aim squarely at Donald Trump Sunday as he ramped up his campaign efforts and took his pitch to the voters of Nevada just days before Democratic primary, describing the upcoming 2024 election as a “battle for the soul of our nation.”
The president attended two campaign events in the battleground state, beginning with a fundraiser in which the Associated Press described the president focusing “on Trump’s ample history of provocative statements.” Trump’s comparison to Jan. 6 rioters as “hostages” and his infamous “dictator” comment on Day One were among those to feature.
Then, speaking to a crowd at the Pearson Community Center in a predominantly Black community in Las Vegas–the historic Westside neighborhood–Biden started swinging at Trump almost immediately, vowing to “make Donald Trump a loser again.”
