The Biden campaign criticized the use of “anonymous” sources that have expressed concerns within the Democratic Party about the president’s candidacy amidst ongoing questions about his physical and mental state.
Campaign Spokesperson Kevin Munoz pointed to Biden’s TV interviews this past week and the support from Black women and Hispanic groups, while associating Trump with the conservative Project 2025 agenda, which has been depicted as a blueprint for a future Republican administration, an agenda Trump has disavowed.
“Donald Trump and Republicans – despite claims of a ‘new tone – their message is the same: Revenge and retribution,” Munoz stated in a memo released Friday evening explaining why Biden should remain in the race. “Their convention focused on bowing down to Putin, mass deportation, and inflicting their Project 2025 agenda on the American people.”
Biden canceled several campaign events this week after contracting COVID-19 and is currently self-isolating in Delaware. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is on the campaign trail.
“And as we’ve said before, President Biden is excited to get back on the campaign trail as soon as he can,” Munoz added.
In his argument, Munoz highlighted the Republican National Convention that concluded Thursday in Milwaukee.
“Attendees brandished signs calling for ‘Mass Deportations Now,’ while an architect of Trump’s cruel family separation policy took center stage during the convention’s primetime slot,” he said.
“JD Vance, the poster child for Project 2025’s extremism, was unveiled as Trump’s running mate and, in becoming Trump’s vice presidential nominee, doubled down on a future of abortion bans, worse access to health care, and higher costs for middle-class Americans,” added Munoz.
