Trump lashes Biden, defies pandemic on White House stage
Facing a national moment fraught with racial turmoil and a deadly pandemic, President Donald Trump accepted his party's renomination on a massive White House South Lawn stage Thursday night, boasting of helping African Americans and defying his own administration's pandemic guidelines to address a tightly packed, largely maskless crowd.
As troubles
churned outside the gates, Trump painted an optimistic vision of America’s
future, including an eventual triumph over the coronavirus pandemic that has
killed more than 175,000 people, left millions unemployed and rewritten the
rules of society. But that brighter horizon can only be secured, Trump
asserted, if he defeats Democrat Joe Biden.
