Washington Post: “Biden is making a hastily planned trip to Pittsburgh on Monday afternoon to offer remarks on ‘whether voters feel safe in Donald Trump’s America,’ as Trump tries to reframe the 2020 race as a ‘law-and-order’ election amid unrest over racial injustice that has turned violent recently. ‘I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same,’ Biden said in a statement Sunday, reacting to violence that turned deadly in Portland, Ore. ‘The job of a president is to lower the temperature.'”
“In his remarks Monday, Biden will also ‘offer a different vision for a better future,’ according to his campaign. Trump has seized on social justice protests as a campaign wedge, attempting to tie Biden to ‘radical’ elements on the left. Both he and Biden are moving to address protests and violence in a more prominent way this week. Trump on Tuesday is set to travel to Kenosha, Wis., where a police shooting left Jacob Blake, a Black resident, paralyzed and provoked street protests that culminated in the shooting deaths of two others. Kyle Rittenhouse, a White 17-year-old who had illegally obtained a rifle, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the killings, which came after a fledgling militia group had posted a call to arms on Facebook.”
