Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at campaign event in Pittsburgh, Pa., Monday, Aug. 31, 2020, at a location called Mill 19. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) Joe Biden is traveling to Wisconsin on Thursday, two days after President Donald Trump, as the key swing state becomes the focal point for a political debate over violence at protests. First, Biden is hammering Trump on Wednesday on pandemic school safety, trying to keep the election spotlight on the president’s handling of the outbreak and the nationâs overall security. Biden will be visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin, where there have been recent protests following the wounding of a Black man, Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back by police as he was trying to get into a car while police were trying to arrest him. On Tuesday, Trump used the protests to underscore his support for law enforcement. blaming âdomestic terrorâ for looting and arson thatâs taken place in the city. The major violence included the burning of several buildings and the killing of two protesters by a 17-year-old, who is now in custody. On Wednesday, meanwhile, Biden and his wife, Jill, a longtime community college professor and former high school teacher, are meeting with public health experts in their home town of Wilmington, Delaware, to talk about school reopening options. Then Biden will deliver remarks â his second speech in three days â outlining his ideas and accusing the president of making the country less safe. The Wilmington event is the latest in a series of dueling efforts by Trump and Biden to cast the other as a threat to Americansâ day-to-day security. It will highlight their vastly different arguments, with Trump steering debate toward âlaw and orderâ and Biden pushing a broad referendum on Trumpâs competence. âPresident Trump has no plan,â said Biden adviser Symone Sanders, previewing the former vice presidentâs remarks on schools and the pandemic. âInstead,â she continued, âhe thinks that a fear-mongering campaign stoking violence is going to help him.â Biden, she said, âis demonstrating what a safe America could look likeâ by talking to experts about school options in a pandemic, while Trump tries to capitalize on the fact that some racial justice protests have led to property damage or turned into violent clashes with counter-protesters. Trump put his approach on display again Tuesday on a trip to Kenosha, Wisconsin, a city still reeling from protests and violence after another Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot by police. The president praised local law enforcement and toured a block charred by protestersâ fire. He called the destruction âanti-Americanâ and suggested Bidenâs election would ensure similar scenes in U.S. cities across the country. It was the latest rendition of a theme voiced throughout the Republican National Convention: âYou wonât be safe in Joe Bidenâs America.â RELATED: Trump visits Kenosha, calls violence ‘domestic terrorism’ Trump put his approach on display again Tuesday on a trip to Kenosha, a city still reeling from protests and violence after Blake was shot. The president praised local law enforcement and toured a block charred by protestersâ fire. He called the destruction âanti-Americanâ and suggested Bidenâs election would ensure similar scenes in U.S. cities across the country. It was the latest rendition of a theme voiced throughout the Republican National Convention: âYou won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.â Trump again did not condemn a 17-year-old charged in the killings of two protesters in Kenosha, and he again rejected that systemic racism plays any part in U.S. society. On Wednesday, Sanders previewed the retort to Trump and the pivot Biden was expected to deliver later that day. âTo be clear, we are currently living in Donald Trumpâs America, and folks have to ask themselves across the country: Are you safe?â she said. With the U.S. COVID-19 death toll nearing 190,000, Sanders declared the answer is âunequivocallyâ no. Trumpâs advisers argue that his stance â which includes falsely accusing Biden of championing violent protesters and wanting to âdefund the policeâ â shifts attention away from the pandemic. They also believe the tactics help Trump attract white voters in suburbs and exurbs, key slices of his 2016 coalition. Some Democrats have quietly worried that recent violence might boost Trumpâs prospects, even as his maneuvers do nothing to quell unrest or perhaps even feed it. Bidenâs team downplays such concerns, insisting the former vice president simply must counter with steady warnings that Trump is dangerously inept. They see that as an umbrella argument for any number of scenarios â including a discussion of how to reopen schools. Trumpâs cries of âlaw-and-orderâ and âradical leftistsâ might work, said Bidenâs campaign co-chairman Cedric Richmond, âif he was the only one talking.â But the Louisiana congressman said Biden has a megaphone, too, and that Trump, even as a âp.r. master,â cannot erase Americansâ own realities on coronavirus, systemic racism or anything else. âLook, you canât argue that the country is so screwed up only you can fix it when youâve been president for almost four years,â Richmond said in an interview. âHis argument is basically, âI broke the country. Now reelect me so I can fix it.ââ
