Joe Biden has been faitful in NOT mentioning Trump in the media…..
Up until now….
Only Politico has run this piece that Biden & Co. just dissed Trump and the Trump economic policies along with Trump doing ‘softball town hall’ stuff………
For months, Joe Biden’s reelection campaign largely refrained from lashing out at Donald Trump by name. They’re now firing their first official shot.
Hours before Trump was scheduled to appear in a primetime interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity — and the same day the former president revealed a third criminal indictment is likely forthcoming — Biden’s campaign lambasted Trump for sitting for “softball townhalls.
”In a statement provided exclusively to POLITICO, it also made a nod to the forthcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the GOP next year will formally declare its nominee.
“One year from today, Republicans will be wrapping up their convention in Wisconsin, just miles away from where former President Trump promised his ‘America First’ agenda would bring 13,000 manufacturing jobs and a new Foxconn plant to the state,” said Kevin Munoz, spokesperson for the reelection campaign of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “The former president has yet to go back to Wisconsin since announcing his campaign, nor has he provided an explanation for his failure to deliver on his promised American manufacturing boom.”

It’s an indication that the campaign views Trump as the most credible threat in the GOP primary field.
Up until now, Biden has been leaning on the Democratic National Committee to blast his GOP opponents. Biden’s more aggressive approach toward Trump could calm the worries of some Democrats who have been concerned that his campaign is too slow-paced….

The fact that Biden’s campaign is criticizing Trump over economic issues on the day that the Republican revealed he received a target letter from the Department of Justice underscores that Biden is not changing course when it comes to staying quiet about Trump’s legal problems. Earlier this year, Biden and his aides ordered the DNC and his campaign to not touch Trump’s indictment for his handling of classified documents.
Biden has vowed to ensure that the Department of Justice is independent. But some Democrats outside of the White House have been anxious that he is leaving a potent line of attack on the table…
