Mike Pence slammed Joe Biden for his remarks in the fracking ban debate, the shutdown of the oil industry
Pittsburgh:
The United States needs four more years from President Donald Trump in the White House, his deputy and running mate Mike Pence told compatriots in Pennsylvania state on the battlefield, saying the administration had kept his promises during his first term.
“It’s a movement of ordinary Americans from all walks of life. Here in Pennsylvania you think we could be strong again,” the vice president said at a campaign rally in West Mifflin, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvania and America need four more years from President Donald Trump in the White House. It’s amazing to think of four years ago,” Pence told a cheering crowd a day after the last. presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee, between incumbent Republican President Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
In August, when Pence formally accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination for the Nov. 3 election, he said the United States needed another four years from the Trump administration during these difficult times.
“You think we could be prosperous again. You said yes to President Donald Trump in 2016. And I know Pennsylvania is going to say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump,” Pence said amidst cheers from the audience. as he concentrated his speech. largely on the achievements of the Trump administration and criticism of the policies of its predecessor.
“We have accomplished so much,” he said.
“The choice of this election has never been clear. The stakes have never been higher,” he said. “The choice in this election is whether America remains America,” he said, alleging that a Biden-Harris administration with the “radical left would lead the country down the path of socialism.”
“So the decline of America,” he said.
A Biden administration, Pence said, would result in higher taxes on the middle class and loss of manufacturing jobs.
“Over the past three years, Trump has cut taxes and created millions of jobs. Biden and his vice president, Senator Kamala Harris, want to crush America’s energy independence through their Green New Deal of $ 2 trillion, ”the US vice president said.
Pence criticized Biden for his remarks during the debate over banning fracking and shutting down the oil industry. The campaign released a video of Biden and Harris contradicting their own remarks. The video drew the biggest boos from several hundred Americans who had gathered at a city airport to listen to the vice president.
“Four more years” were the constant cheers from his supporters. The president took the stage and took Biden hands down, Pence said, saying “Trump won the debate.” “No doubt about it,” he said.
Amidst cheers and applause from the audience, Pence said the Trump administration will never let America become a socialist country, “which Biden and his team conspire to do.”
“Do you want a proven job creator or someone who ships jobs overseas?” He asked. “It’s a choice between Trump’s economic recovery and Biden’s depression,” he said.
The crowd of a few hundred, which is far less than the thousands drawn to Trump at his campaign rallies, included women, children and African Americans.
Pence and Trump have both campaigned very hard in the state of the battlefield. A victory or defeat in Pennsylvania is most likely to decide who would occupy the White House for the next four years. The latest opinion polls show Biden leading in Pennsylvania by more than 5 percentage points. However, the gap has narrowed over the past few days.
Former congressman and governor of Indiana, Pence, 61, has addressed several campaign rallies across the country, particularly in battlefield states.
The size of the crowd Pence draws is much smaller than Trump’s, but it is sizable given the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing measures in place.
Pence, who led the White House task force on COVID-19, told the public that a vaccine was on the way by the end of the year.
“While Biden is determined to shut down the United States, Trump is determined to open everything up and jumpstart the country’s economy. We are opening America again. We are opening schools,” he said.
