WASHINGTON: On the first night of the Democratic national Convention (DNC) in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) on Monday, former First Lady Michelle Obama tore into President Donald Trump calling him the “wrong president” for the country and urging Americans to elect Joe Biden in November to end the chaos created by Trump’s presidency. She said Biden’s steady and empathetic approach to problems was the answer and urged voters to stand in line or do whatever it takes to ensure they can beat Trump. “Whenever we look to this White House for some leadership or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division and a total and utter lack of empathy,” Obama said, adding Trump was “in over his head” as president. She said: “So if you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it.” Former Biden rival Bernie Sanders and prominent Republican John Kasich said Biden’s steady approach to problems was needed to confront the coronavirus pandemic, economic woes and racial injustice. “Joe Biden will end the hate and division Trump has created. He will stop the demonisation of immigrants, the coddling of white nationalists, the racist dog whistling, the religious bigotry and the ugly attacks on women,” said Sanders. |
