President Donald Trump's lengthy attacks on Joe Biden on Tuesday may not have been all his political advisers envisioned.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's political advisers have bluntly told him he can't win the November election if the campaign is about him, and for weeks they unsuccessfully urged him to pivot to a new strategy focused on his general election opponent, Joe Biden.
Trump's advisers have been encouraging him to zero in on Biden's long public record to deflect any focus on his own 3½ years in office. Another person close to the president echoed the argument that the strategy hasn't worked,"given the chaos" of the administration. Trump said Tuesday that"Biden was a leading advocate of the Paris Climate Accord, which was unbelievably expensive to our country, would've crushed America's manufacturers, while allowing China to pollute the atmosphere with impunity."
"There's probably never been a time when the candidates are so different," Trump said, making a clear electoral pitch from the White House complex.
