Washington Post: “Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is closing out his campaign with an increasingly aggressive pitch to moderate voters, seeking to capitalize on anger at President Trump and cement a broad base of support anchored in the center of the political spectrum. The former vice president’s strategy was apparent on Monday as he campaigned in Ohio, a state Trump won decisively four years ago thanks to White working-class voters. In the waning days of the campaign, Biden is trying to convince these swing voters that Trump let them down amid signs that the president’s support has eroded. Over the next three days, Biden will make a similar case in the crucial — and potentially decisive — battleground states of Florida and Pennsylvania, beginning with a speech aimed at seniors on Tuesday afternoon.”
“Biden’s emphasis on moderation, a hallmark of his decades-long political career, comes after a spring and summer in which he made concessions to his party’s liberal wing as he aimed to consolidate their support, and made the case for a more transformational presidency, as the coronavirus pandemic and a reckoning on race and police violence sparked calls for sweeping change. All told, his platform is more liberal than every past Democratic nominee.”
