With Nevada’s presidential primary just around the corner, President Joe Biden took to the stage in North Las Vegas to energize supporters and sharpen his focus on the road ahead. At a get-out-the-vote rally, Biden aimed his rhetoric squarely at his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, accusing him of dividing the nation and undermining democracy.
Biden has ignored his Democratic would-be rivals completely and has turned his eyes to the general election. All indications point to a rematch with Donald Trump in November, as the former president continues to lead the Republican nominating contest, winning two victories and scaring off all of his prominent rivals save for Nikki Haley.
“Trump and his MAGA friends are dividing us, not uniting us. Dragging us back to the past, not leading us in the future,” Biden declared, addressing a spirited crowd. He criticized Trump’s refusal to accept election results and his attacks on the U.S. Constitution, warning of the risks to democracy.
Nikki Haley was expected to lose her party’s primary on the day of the primaries, with a catch: Donald Trump did not compete. Instead, he participated in the GOP-run caucuses.

Biden’s strategy has been to single out and portray Trump as too extreme to lead, emphasizing issues like democracy and rights while countering attacks on inflation and immigration. Despite criticism and poor polling, Biden remains resolute in his message, rallying supporters with promises to stand for truth and defeat lies.
“We have to make sure that we stand for the truth and defeat the lies,” Biden declared, echoing his supporters’ sentiments. “In America, just like all of you do in Nevada, we still believe in honesty, decency, dignity, and respect.”

Biden’s visit to Nevada, his fifth as president, stressed the importance of the state in the upcoming election. He touted federal funding for infrastructure projects, including a high-speed rail connecting Las Vegas and Los Angeles, which he said would create thousands of jobs.
