Biden campaign co-chair signals president will bring up Trump's conviction during debate
President Joe Biden’s campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu hinted Sunday that Biden will hit former President Donald Trump on his legal troubles at Thursday’s presidential debate in Atlanta.
President Joe Biden’s campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu hinted Sunday that Biden will hit former President Donald Trump on his legal troubles at Thursday’s presidential debate in Atlanta.
In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Landrieu said, “It really doesn’t matter how Donald Trump shows up if he comes in unhinged, like he is most of the time, or he sits there and is quiet. People are going to know that he’s a twice-impeached convicted felon who’s been found to have defamed somebody, sexually abused somebody and gone bankrupt six times.”
Guest moderator Peter Alexander brought up a new Biden campaign ad that calls Trump “a convicted criminal” and asked Landrieu whether that line of attack would make it to the debate stage Thursday.
“I’ll let the president say what he’s going to say, but the fact of the matter is that the sky is blue sometimes and Donald Trump is a convicted felon,” Landrieu said.
A New York jury last month found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York. Juries also found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.
