Trump's RNC speech will attack Biden for 'most extreme' agenda ever
Live from the White House, President Trump will deliver the final address of the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, and excerpts released by his campaign show that he plans on deriding Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Trump will say that he has "spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden has inflicted over the last 47 years," and accuse Biden of having "the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee." He will also describe the Republican Party as being "united, determined, and ready to welcome millions of Democrats, independents, and anyone who believes in the greatness of America and the righteous heart of the American people."
The Trump campaign said Trump's speech will have an optimistic tone, and he will tell Americans that "at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, or two agendas."
