At 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, referencing the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade and calling it a “miracle” according to Trump.
Biden humorously mentioned Trump’s $60 “God Bless the USA Bible,” which he has been promoting with Lee Greenwood. The issue of abortion restrictions is a key focus for Democrats hoping to win over voters in states like Florida, and as Biden campaigns in the state, he emphasized the impact of the Supreme Court decision on abortion rights and Trump’s involvement in the matter.
At the event, 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in buying the Bible to see its contents, which include the text of the Bible, lyrics to Greenwood’s song, and American historical documents.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.
Biden highlighted Trump’s claimed role in overturning Roe v. Wade as a calculated move to appease evangelical voters. Trump had made promises to appoint conservative Supreme Court justices who would overturn the decision, 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.
