Trump distorts Biden's debate comment at rally, saying rival 'owns socialism'
Donald Trump distorted Joe Biden’s description of the Democratic Party under his leadership, telling supporters Wednesday night in Minnesota the former vice president “owns the socialism” the president says defines his party.
What the Democratic presidential nominee actually said during their raucous first debate was: “I am the Democratic Party right now.” (The party’s nominee becomes its leader, at least until Election Day, and sets its official policy platform.")
During the Tuesday night debate in swing state Ohio, the president tried contending Mr Biden supports the “Green New Deal,” an environmental plan experts say would require a $3trn makeover of the entire US economy. The former VP told Mr Trump he supports “the Biden plan” to address environmental issues, a more moderate blueprint.
