Bernie Sanders's campaign is warning Democrats that Joe Biden is vulnerable to attacks from President Trump, but his team skipped over one obvious weakness: Hunter Biden.
“Donald Trump tonight sent a warning shot to our party: If we nominate a candidate like Joe Biden who has repeatedly tried to cut Social Security and pushed disastrous trade deals, Trump will exploit that vulnerability in an effort to obscure his own record and win the battleground states that could swing the general election,†Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir wrote after Trump's Fox News town hall Thursday.
The Sanders camp's push to paint the Vermont senator as the "far stronger general election candidate" was sparked by Trump saying during the televised event that he "will be cutting" entitlement programs if elected to a second term in office. The president also ripped Biden over the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he described as "the worst trade deal ever made."
"Joe Biden made a deal, NAFTA. He approved it. He was pushing it," Trump said.
