'He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country,' said Michelle Obama.
US Democrats opened their unprecedented online nominating convention Monday with a show of unity behind Joe Biden, as former first lady Michelle Obama said the party's presidential candidate"knows what it takes" to lead the nation out of crisis.
In excerpts of her remarks released ahead of her taped speech, Obama said Biden was a"terrific vice president" during the eight years he served as her husband's number two."He knows what it takes to rescue an economy, beat back a pandemic and lead our country," the former first lady said. Speaking in Oshkosh, Trump accused Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris of seeking to enact"crazy socialist policies."
Insisting without proof that it fosters fraud, Trump has threatened to block extra funding that Democrats say is urgently needed to allow the US Postal Service to process millions of ballots.
