President Donald Trump slams presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s newly released economic plan and says that the former Vice President “plagiarized from me, but he can never pull it off.”
Trump made the remarks as he departed the White House Friday enroute to Miami where he’ll hold his first in-person fundraiser in a month and then a rally on Saturday night in New Hampshire.
Trump’s Friday fundraiser takes him to terrain where COVID-19’s surge threatens his hold on a must-win state and raises questions about Republican aims to hold their nominating convention in Jacksonville next month.
Trump will also hold a small event supporting the people of Venezuela and visit U.S. Southern Command in Miami to highlight a reduction in the flow of illegal drugs into the United States, though much of the credit belongs to the pandemic, which has paralyzed economies, closed borders and severed supply chains.
Trump, trailing in the polls, is eager to signal that normal life can resume despite a rampaging virus that has killed more than 130,000 Americans.
Trump’s rally in Portsmouth was scheduled after aides spent weeks studying what went wrong in Tulsa three weeks ago. It was billed as a massive, defiant return to the political stage but instead produced a humiliating sea of empty seats and questions about the campaign’s ability to attract people to large events in a pandemic.
