Republicans have started building lines of attack on Biden in the days following his string of victories in South Carolina and Super Tuesday states. Trump and allies on Capitol Hill have re-upped their focus on the Biden family’s business dealings, a likely line of attack against Biden in a general election campaign. And Trump has repeatedly questioned Biden’s mental fitness.
„He doesn’t even know where he is or what he’s doing or what office he’s running for. Honestly, I don’t think he knows what office he’s running for,“ Trump said about Biden during a campaign rally last week.
Biden could use the cover as he risks a two-front battle between both Bernie Sanders and Republicans in the coming weeks. But Priorities USA, whose mission is to raise and spend tens of millions of dollars to aid the eventual Democratic nominee for president, risks appearing to put a thumb on the scale for Biden by running ads in his favor while he is still in a competitive primary with Sanders.
The group is still neutral in the primary, Cecil said. And Priorities USA will „reassess its plans“ if the race tips in Sanders’ favor and he is under attack from the president, a spokesman said.
„We will remain neutral in the primary and will support whoever the nominee is, however we cannot ignore the delegate math that indicates that it’s increasingly likely that Joe Biden will become the nominee,“ Cecil said. „The alternative of waiting and allowing Donald Trump to define the general election and give himself a potentially insurmountable advantage is unacceptable.“
