Joe Biden trolled as he calls out Donald Trump for being ‘against everything’ and ‘not for anything’ during campaign speech

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE: President Joe Biden took a swipe at former President Donald Trump on Saturday, February 3, accusing the GOP frontrunner of lacking a clear stance on critical issues.

The remarks were delivered at Biden's campaign headquarters, strategically located near his family home.

Unconventional campaign

In an address focused on the significance of democracy and his recent surge in the polls, Biden declared, “I’m feeling good about where we are, I really am. You know, folks are starting to focus in and the guy we’re running against, he is — he’s not for anything, he’s against everything.”

Biden attempted to elucidate the unconventional nature of the current political climate, stating, "It's the weirdest campaign I've ever been engaged in, it's even worse in terms of his behavior than the last time in 2020."

Highlighting his belief in the understanding of Americans, Biden reiterated his point about the importance of the upcoming general election.

“I meant what I said back when we announced the first time for president against this guy and we went up to … up to Independence Hall and made a speech on democracy and the press kinda thought it was a little bit of an exaggeration, except the American people didn’t,” he continued. “The American people get it. They understand what’s going on.”

The President claimed he is receiving growing international support during overseas trips, claiming that other country leaders are cheering for his re-election success. He also referenced a recent Quinnipiac poll showing him leading Trump by six points among registered voters in a hypothetical general election match-up. Additionally, he touted leading in two Pennsylvania polls against his likely Republican rival.

“But folks, things are — people are beginning to focus and they’re beginning to focus and the polling data, everything is picking up across the board,” Biden said. “And by the way, in New Hampshire, we weren’t on the ballot, we couldn’t campaign there. But guess what? We got 64 percent of the vote,” he added.

Despite Biden's optimism, a CNN poll conducted by SSRS indicated a different outcome, with Trump leading by four points. Forty-nine percent of registered voters in the poll expressed a preference for Trump, while 45 percent favored Biden. Another polling average from The Hill and Decision Desk HQ showed Trump with a 2-point lead in a potential rematch.

Looking ahead to the Democratic primary in South Carolina, Biden expressed confidence in a good voter turnout. Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), whose endorsement played a pivotal role in Biden's 2020 win in the state, echoed this sentiment in an interview with The Hill.

“I really believe that people are beginning to focus on things now, and by the time we get to the primary election on (Feb 3), I think that there’ll be a good turnout of voters and I think that Joe Biden would beat his number from New Hampshire,” Clyburn told the outlet. 

The event at Biden's campaign headquarters also marked a significant moment in his re-election effort, with Vice President Kamala Harris, First Lady Jill Biden, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff present to show their support.

Biden faces backlash for calling out Trump

However, Biden's words on Saturday sparked a backlash on social media.

"Biden is obviously feeling desperate," one posted on X.

"Can any democrat folk herein articulate what 'Biden stands for'?" another wrote.

"Yes much better Biden get us into WWIII, while he lines his pockets from selling us out," someone else added.

"Biden doesn't have one single policy listed on his website. There is no platform. Stand for something other than war and don't pretend it's democracy," another chimed in.
