Iowa State Fair’s 2020 presidential blitz began with former Vice President Joe Biden and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock in the battleground state that President Trump won comfortably in 2016 after President Obama, with Biden as his running mate, won it twice.
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden poses for a photo during a visit to the Iowa State Fair, Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019, in Des Moines, Iowa.
Bullock said Trump’s rhetoric and behavior — attacking his critics on the day he traveled to ostensibly console victims’ families in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio — are beneath the office he holds. California Sen. Kamala Harris on Thursday declined to label Trump a white supremacist, as former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke has since the El Paso shooting.
Bullock faces an uphill battle in part because of Biden’s standing: Both men hail from the more moderate-to-liberal core of the party, warning that a progressive lurch could help re-elect Trump. But the 53-year-old governor is dwarfed by the universal name recognition of the 76-year-old former vice president.
Harris has said she’d use sweeping executive action on guns if Congress doesn’t act within 100 days of her inauguration. Biden, in turn, quickly dismissed some arguments used to push back on restricting some guns and ammunition.
