President Joe Biden on Friday sought to draw policy contrasts with former President Donald Trump, tying him directly to the conservative plan known as “Project 2025.”
He attacked Trump in several new ways, including explicit claims that Trump raped a woman. Biden read from a court ruling against Trump in the E. Jean Caroll defamation case.
“Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault by a judge who told us not to be fooled by the way Trump downplays it,” Biden said. “This is what the judge wrote, and I quote, the judge in the case wrote, ‘Mr. Trump’s attempt to downplay the sexual assault as frivolous. Mr. Trump raped her.’”
“That’s the judge’s language, not mine,” Biden added. “He raped her. As many people understand the word rape.”
Among other direct attacks on Trump, Biden called the former president a “loser” and a “convicted felon.” He accused Trump of “riding around in his golf cart, filling out a card before he hits the ball,” and said he had “declared bankruptcy six times.”
“He went bankrupt even running a casino,” Biden said. “I didn’t think that was possible. Don’t casinos always win?”
Biden also highlighted Trump’s own verbal lapses — the day after Biden himself called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “President Putin” and referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
“I guess they don’t remember that Trump called Nikki Haley ‘Nancy Pelosi,’” Biden said.
The president spoke to supporters using a teleprompter, but appeared to stray from the script at several points during his speech.
