The ad also shows Biden with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The ad shows President Trump with Russian President Vladimir Putin, of course.
Biden: “To be commander in chief of the United States, it’s a sacred duty. (Obama, “Thank you so much, everybody!”) The next president is gonna face enormous challenges in picking up the pieces of American foreign policy. We need a leader who can on day one stand with our allies, know them by their first names and have them know there’ll be no question about the word of the next president of the United States.”
Biden is planning a post-Thanksgiving eight day, eighteen county campaign swing by bus of Iowa called the “No Malarkey” tour that will end in Cedar Rapids on December 7, according to The Gazette.
