Trump Attacking Rivals, Biden Defends Voters In States Contrast Election

President Donald Trump‘s combative press conference on Thursday, in which he outlined unsubstantiated claims of a Democrat plot to steal the election, contrasted with his rival Joe Biden‘s concise remarks focused on the right of voters to decide its outcome.

Throughout his latest press conference, the Republican incumbent rallied against Biden and the Democrats. Trump directly referring to the Democratic party and its members on 13 occasions, and mentioned Biden by name seven times. The president later continued his accusations in an early morning tweet Friday.

In contrast, Biden did not make a single reference to Trump or the Republicans in his latest press conference earlier on Thursday.

He instead focused on the sanctitude of the vote in America, as he called for all ballots to be counted.

“In America, the vote is sacred. It’s how people of this nation express their will, and it is the will of the voters, no one, not anything else, that chooses the President of the United States of America,” he said.

“So each ballot must be counted and that’s what we’re going to see going through now, and that’s how it should be.”

He has spoken of being confident of victory though has stopped short of saying he believes it is already secured. In contrast Trump has made unfounded claims of victory.
