NEW YORK (Dagbladet): While the New Hampshire primary is underway, the incumbent President of the United States gave a speech in Virginia with Vice President Kamala Harris. The goal was to talk about the right to self-abortion, which is likely to become a very important issue in the Democratic campaign.
The person most responsible for taking away this freedom in America is Donald Trump, Biden said of his Republican predecessor, who is also likely to become the party's presidential nominee in this year's elections, according to reports. Reuters.
– Genocide Joe
Trump appointed three US Supreme Court justices, who overturned the famous decision Roe v. Wade, which gave American women the right to determine their own destiny.
Large segments of the audience cheered for Biden during the speech he delivered at George Mason University. But it was also interrupted at least 14 times by angry protesters, Politico reported. They chanted “ceasefire now,” “genocide Joe,” and other insults against Biden’s support for Israel and the attack on the Gaza Strip after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 last year.

-I feel this strongly
