President Biden, in his first political speech since an assassination attempt on his Republican rival, Donald Trump, assured Black voters in Las Vegas that he would seek reelection. He strongly criticized Trump’s record, particularly his handling of the economy during the pandemic and his past remarks about former President Obama’s citizenship. Biden emphasized his commitment to serving another term and highlighted his accomplishments in office.
He acknowledged the political tensions but called for unity and peaceful resolution of differences. Biden also addressed concerns about his age, emphasizing his experience and commitment to serving the nation.
Following the assassination attempt, Biden’s campaign has shifted its focus from sharp attacks on Trump to a message of unity and a stark comparison between the two candidates. This comes amidst concerns about Biden’s stamina and mental acuity.
Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans are holding their nominating convention, where they selected Senator J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate.
