Speaking at a Nebraska Democratic Party gala in Omaha, former President Joe Biden delivered a blistering critique of President Donald Trump, calling his tenure a wrecking ball to democracy and citing the demolition of the White House East Wing to build a 90,000 square foot ballroom. He mocked claims of a golden age, accused Trump of favoring the wealthy, and linked his own prostate cancer treatment to warnings about Republican health care cuts. Amid the longest government shutdown over ACA subsidies, Biden cheered Democrats' sweeping election wins and urged supporters to defend fragile democratic institutions.
