President Joe Biden attends the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton, Saturday, April 27, 2024, in Washington. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is out to win votes by scoring some laughs at the expense of Donald Trump, unleashing mockery with the goal of getting under the former president’s thin skin and reminding the country of his blunders.
So far, Biden has been trying to thread a delicate needle to boost his chances of a second term. He uses humor to paint Trump as a buffoon unworthy of the Oval Office, but the president stops short of turning the election into a laughing matter. In Tampa, Florida, the day before, he assailed Trump for the Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned abortion protections - with three justices nominated by Trump voting in the majority of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization - and then pivoted to the former president’s hawking of a $60 “God Bless the USA” Bible.
Even when Biden tries his hand at humor, he rarely strays far from talking about policies. He likes to note that he signed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law - after his opponent failed to do so despite repeatedly holding White House events to drum up support for an idea that never materialized.
Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, said Biden is “shuffling his feet like a short-circuited Roomba,” referring to the robot vacuum, while failing to address the “out-of-control border” and “runaway inflation.”
