An emotional and very different President Joe Biden told supporters in North Carolina that Trump was a one-man crime wave, as the crowd chanted “Lock him up.”
Biden said:
About crime. I had to remind him that 2020 saw a record increase in the murder rate. There is more to do. Then I pointed out that the only convicted criminal on stage last night was Donald Trump. When I think about his 34 felony convictions, he was fined $400 million for business fraud for sexually assaulting a woman in a public place. I thought to myself, Donald Trump is more than just a convicted felon. Donald Trump is a one-man crime wave.

This is completely different from Biden on the debate stage. It was as if the debate’s slow start fueled the president’s sense of urgency.
After the debate, Biden and the Democrats did not back down and continued their attack. If Trump and his party think they’ve won anything, they may be in for a rude awakening now that the campaign appears to have officially begun.
