Biden vows to restore ‘Roe v Wade’, slams Trump for ‘sucking up to dictators’ in Georgia rally
- Trump was stumping in Georgia on the same day as Biden, signifying the key role the state will play in November’s poll
- Trump has repeatedly insisted falsely he was the victim of election fraud in 2020, and Biden warned returning Trump to the White House would reverse years of Democratic gains
“It’s not hyperbole to suggest our freedoms are literally on the ballot this November,” Biden said to a roar of applause to several hundred supporters at an event space in Atlanta.
Biden warned that returning Trump to the White House would reverse years of Democratic gains and allow Republicans to push more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, as well as restrictions against abortion and even in vitro fertilisation. “I will restore Roe v Wade as the law of the land,” he vowed.
Biden also took aim at Trump for entertaining Hungary’s right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban at his Florida club in recent days, accusing him of “sucking up to dictators and authoritarian thugs all around the world”.
“When he says he wants to be a dictator, I believe him,” Biden said.
Trump’s event was held in Rome, Georgia, within the congressional district of right-wing firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene.
