At a campaign event in Florida, President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump for his role in the overturning of abortion rights. Biden joked about buying Trump’s recent Bible sale to see its contents, which include the text of the Bible, lyrics to Lee Greenwood’s song, and American historical documents. However, Biden also expressed disappointment in the quality of the Bible.
Biden highlighted Trump’s claimed role in overturning Roe v. Wade as a calculated move to appease evangelical voters. Trump had made promises to appoint conservative Supreme Court justices who would overturn the decision, resulting in abortion bans in multiple states. Biden also criticized Trump’s past comments about punishing women who get abortions, which Trump later changed to punishing doctors.
The issue of abortion restrictions is a key focus for Democrats hoping to win over voters in states like Florida. As Biden campaigns in Florida, he emphasized the impact of the Supreme Court decision on abortion rights and Trump’s involvement in the matter.
