Biden ready to fight back if Trump goes after his family, campaign says
Source: NBC News
Ahead of tonight's debate, the Biden campaign is telegraphing that if President Trump goes after Joe Biden's family, it plans on attacking him for spreading and amplifying Russian disinformation.
In a pre-debate press call with reporters, the campaign's deputy manager, Kate Bedingfield, said that the campaign expected Trump "to continue to bully" and attack Hunter Biden and his foreign dealings during tonight's debate. She said that Biden is prepared for those attacks as well, hoping to flip the attention to the fact that Trump is more obsessed with Biden's family than America's families amid a pandemic.
"Here's the thing, these attacks are backfiring on Trump. You know, despite leveling them in the first debate, poll after poll showed voters resoundingly thought Biden won that debate because voters are sick and tired of Trump's lies and we've heard the same debunked attacks for over a year," she said.
A senior campaign adviser, Symone Sanders, also commented on the Commission on Presidential Debate's decision to mute the microphones, saying that the debate will serve as "a test of presidential temperament," especially for the president.

(6,561 posts)I'm betting that's what the goal is. And if Joe takes the bait, they'll attack him for it. Doesn't matter that they've been attacking Hunter - AND that Dump got impeached over it already. They crave a victims' stage.
