Biden didn’t stop there. He went on to criticize Trump’s repeated claims that America is entering a “golden age” under his leadership.
“He now says we’re living in a ‘golden age,’” Biden said. “The only gold is the stuff he’s hanging on the mantle.”
It was a passionate moment that reminded many of Biden’s 2020 campaign rhetoric, when he positioned himself as a defender of “ordinary working Americans” against what he described as Trump’s “self-serving leadership.”
