Biden's economic plan offers a competing version of economic nationalism that Trump has trumpeted, including an injection of $700 billion into the economy through American products and research.
Senior campaign officials previewed Biden's economic proposals in a call to reporters Wednesday, saying the"aggressive" plan is not just a response to Trump's"mismanagement" of the coronavirus crisis.
"Even before COVID-19, the Trump administration was pursuing economic policies that rewarded wealth over work, and corporations over working families," a senior Biden official said. Earlier this week, Biden spoke about the need to onshore more American goods — especially vital medical equipment and pharmaceuticals — for the U.S. to deal with future crises without relying on goods from China or elsewhere.Trump's reelection campaign on Thursday launched a new
blasting what the campaign called"Biden's dangerous and foolish record of supporting disastrous trade deals, resulting in the destruction of millions of American jobs.""Vice President Biden truly believes that this is no time to just build back to the way things were before, with the economy's same old structural weaknesses and inequalities still in place," a senior Biden official said.
Thursday's speech is the first in a series of planned rollouts in the lead-up to the Democratic National Convention in August. Biden subsequently will address other planks of his economic plan, including infrastructure, child care and racial inequality.
