US President Joe Biden listed a number of reasons why he believes a second Donald Trump presidency would be a “nightmare” for the country, as he urged Nevada Democrats to vote for him in the state’s primary this week. and to his party in general in the November general elections.
Biden began a campaign tour with a fundraiser in which he focused on Trump’s long history of provocative statements: his description of the January 6 insurrectionists as “hostages,” his comments that a former military commander deserves being executed, his nickname of “losers” for soldiers who have fallen in combat, his desire to be a “dictator” on his first day in office or his promise to his followers that “I am your retaliation,” among others.
He then went to a community center in a predominantly black area of Las Vegas, where he told an audience of several hundred people that “you will be the reason we make Donald Trump a loser again.”
Biden added that the stakes were very high when he faced Trump in 2020. “I thought what America was doing to America was in danger” and that they are even higher now that it seems that the duel will be repeated.
At a private home in Henderson, Nevada, he told donors that if they came to Washington he would show them the dining room table where Trump, according to his former collaborators, spent hours absorbed in front of a television while the insurrectionists he had harangued in a speech assaulted the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“We need to keep the White House,” he said. “We must keep the Senate” and take back the House of Representatives.
If it is achieved, he said, “we can say that we saved American democracy.”
He was equally blunt in reviewing his legacy at another rally, asking voters to “imagine the nightmare of Donald Trump.”
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded similarly, saying Biden “has been a nightmare for the country in just three short years in the White House, and there is no manipulation that will make Americans forget all the misery and destruction.” that he has brought.”
In Nevada’s Democratic presidential primary, Biden faces only token opposition on Tuesday from writer Marianne Williamson and a host of relatively little-known contenders. In November 2020 she won Nevada by less than 3 percentage points. But this time she also went to the state to mobilize voters for the fall campaign.
The state, known primarily for its casino and hospitality industry, is often characterized by a divided outcome that is difficult to predict. It has a frequently mobile, working class population and large Latino, Filipino, Chinese American and Black communities. There is also a large gap between urban and rural areas, with more than 88% of active registered voters — and much of their political strength — concentrated in the two most populous counties, which include the Las Vegas and Reno metropolitan areas. .
Biden has based his re-election campaign on the idea that Trump poses a direct threat to American democracy and its fundamental values. The president has also defended abortion rights and recently organized his first major rally in Virginia, where the issue mobilized Democrats, who took control of the state’s House of Delegates.
Biden also defends his economic management and claims that his policies have created millions of jobs, combated climate change and improved American competitiveness abroad. However, polls suggest that many voters do not give his administration credit.
