During a campaign event in Florida, President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump for his role in the overturning of abortion rights. Biden took a jab at Trump’s recent Bible sale by referencing the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade, calling it a “miracle” according to Trump. The president humorously mentioned Trump’s $60 “God Bless the USA Bible,” which he has been promoting with Lee Greenwood.
Biden jokingly expressed interest in buying the Bible to see its contents, which include the text of the Bible, lyrics to Greenwood’s song, and American historical documents. However, the Bible has received negative reviews for its quality.
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. Biden highlighted how Trump had made promises to appoint conservative Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade, 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 president highlighted how this was a calculated move to appease evangelical voters.
Overall, Biden used this opportunity to remind voters of the importance of protecting women’s reproductive rights and holding politicians accountable for their actions on this crucial issue.
