However, speaking in Warren, Michigan last week Biden suggested this promise has not been fulfilled in his tenure.
"What about Trump's commitment to buy American? Like the rest of President Trump's promise, it has nothing to do with reality. It's all a bunch of hot air," Biden said. "So to recap, one, Trump hasn't stopped companies from closing plants and sending jobs overseas. Two, he's rewarded companies that have cut jobs and failed to invest here at home with billions of dollars in tax breaks. And three, he's awarding more and more federal contracts to foreign companies.
"President Trump has broken just about every promise he's ever made to the American worker. And he's failed. He's failed our economy and our country."In apoll released September 13, conducted among 1,311 voters September 7 to 10, a majority of voters said they trusted Trump over Biden in handling the economy.
Among respondents, 51 percent said they trusted Trump more on this point compared to 46 percent for Biden.
