WASHINGTON - The crowd periodically broke into shouts of"USA! USA!" and"Four more years!" as President Donald Trump drew stark battle lines in his first detailed public remarks on the just-concluded Democratic National Convention .
At the DNC, former Vice-President Joe Biden and running mate Senator Kamala Harris were sealed as the party's candidates for an election that promises to be the most fraught and consequential in the modern history of the United States, with sharply different visions for the country. His remarks - some of his strongest yet - came as the Republican Party readies for its own National Convention next week."The Democrats… spent four straight days attacking America as racist and a horrible country that must be redeemed," he charged.
"The future of our country, and indeed our civilisation, is at stake on November 3rd'" he said, painting a grim picture of a Biden presidency pulled to the far left by radicals in the Democratic Party who would raise taxes and be weak on crime and borders and immigration. Some states have universal mail-in ballots, now more important given the risks of mingling at polling booths in the pandemic.
