Biden ad rakes Trump over COVID response 4 years ago
Quick Glance: Biden Contrasts Himself with Trump Through 'Are You Better Off Today' Question
  • President Joe Biden used the 'are you better off today than you were four years ago' question as a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump, reminding voters of the challenges during Trump's term.

  • Biden also criticized Trump for his 'bloodbath' comment, emphasizing the need to reject political violence. He redirected the narrative by focusing on the 'better off' theme and highlighted the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

  • Furthermore, Biden underscored the progress made since Trump's presidency, including COVID-19 control, the return of 15 million jobs, and stock market recovery. Biden's campaign sees a resurgence of interest in a Biden-Trump rematch among voters.

  • The article also mentions Biden's comments on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his support for Rep. Colin Allred, positioning Cruz as an ally of Trump. Biden conveyed the message that the focus should be on Trump's intentions and actions, rather than on himself.
