Trump, in Convention Speech, to Decry Biden, Radical Forces

Facing a fraught national moment, Trump was to paint an optimistic vision of America’s future, including an eventual triumph over the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 175,000 people, left millions unemployed and rewritten the rules of society. But that brighter horizon could only be secured, Trump was to assert, if he defeated Joe Biden,
against whom he was set to unleash blistering attacks meant to erase the Democrat’s stubborn lead in the polls.

“We have spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden inflicted over the last 47 years, Trump was to say according to speech excerpts confirmed by his campaign. “At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies or two agendas."

The Democratic agenda, he said, "is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee.”
