"Is anyone surprised Donald Trump has a problem with strong women?," Biden said.
Biden and Harris both blamed Trump for the racial unrest that has disturbed the country following the police killing of George Floyd.
"Remember what it felt like to see those neo-Nazis, those white supremacists coming out of the fields holding those torches, the veins bulging and pouring into the streets of an historic American city spewing the same vile things you heard in Hitler's Germany?" Biden said.
Harris too attacked Trump and accused him of stoking racial divisions and saying that he could have prevented scores of coronavirus deaths.
"The president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we are experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and system injustice that has brought a new conscience into the streets of our country," Harris said. "America is crying out for leadership."
"[Trump] inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground," she added. (ANI)
