US Election: Joe Biden urged his compatriots to defeat Trump as he has failed to deliver in the past 4 years.
Washington:
The first step in defeating the coronavirus which has had a devastating impact on the United States is to secure the electoral defeat of President Donald Trump, Democratic challenger Joe Biden said on Monday.
Making a passionate plea, Joe Biden, in his closing pitch from the City of Pittsburgh, urged his compatriots to defeat Trump because he has failed to deliver on his promises for the past four years.
“The first step to beating the virus is to beat Donald Trump,” Joe Biden said in his second speech of the day. With nearly 10 crore of Americans having already voted and millions more to exercise their franchise on Tuesday, the former vice president urged people to come out and vote in large numbers.
“My message is simple. The power to change this country is in your hands. And I don’t care about Donald Trump’s efforts, there is nothing he can do to stop the people of this nation from voting no matter how he tries,” he said.
“There was a news article last week and it read – never before in modern presidential history has a candidate been so dependent on large-scale efforts to suppress the vote like Trump,” Joe said. Biden.
Trump doesn’t want you all to vote. He does not want Americans to vote. He thinks only the rich should vote. And when America votes, America will be heard.
“When America is heard, the message will be loud and clear. It is time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home. Go home,” he said.
“Look, we’re done with chaos. We’re done with racism. We’re done with tweets, anger, hate, irresponsibility. But we’ve got a lot of work to do, folks. I’m elected president, we’re going to act. On day one, we’re going to act to get COVID under control, “Joe Biden said.
He alleged that Trump has done more to harm black America than any president in modern history. “This is the same man who started the birther movement against my mate, Barack Obama. This is the man who when – the first black woman to run for vice-president – he looks at her and calls her monster,” the former vice said the president.
Joe Biden closed the day with a drive-in rally in Pittsburgh, the city where he launched his campaign 18 months ago. In his closing message, he said this election is a battle for “the soul of our nation” and that he is the leader that “the country needs to recover from the pandemic and rebuild better than before” .
In a tweet later that night, Joe Biden described it as an election of a lifetime. “In less than 12 hours, voters will be heading to the polls for the most important election of our lives. It all comes down to this,” he wrote.
