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.

Quick Glance: Brazil: Bolsonaro Faces Charges for Suspected Vaccine Data Manipulation
  • Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been officially accused of tampering with his COVID-19 vaccination records, marking the first charge against the controversial far-right leader, with potential additional allegations.

  • The federal police indictment, disclosed by the Supreme Court, alleges that Bolsonaro and 16 others were involved in falsifying information within a public health database to give the impression that the former president, his 12-year-old daughter, and select individuals in his close circle had been administered the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • Throughout the inquiry, numerous deceptive entries were identified between November 2021 and December 2022, alongside instances of utilizing forged documentation.

  • Asserting innocence, Bolsonaro could potentially face a sentence ranging from two to 12 years if found guilty of manipulating health data.
