President Donald Trump said he has strong support among America’s working- and middle-class citizens in the 2020 presidential election, while noting Joe Biden was backed by Wall Street.
While Biden was backed by all the nation’s largest banks, the President noted his candidacy was supported by a working-class coalition.
“At the national level, our opponents’ major donors were Wall Street bankers and special interests,” Trump said.
“Our donors were police officers, farmers, everyday citizens.”
Multiracial working- and the middle-class coalition have embraced Trump's economic nationalism over Biden’s globalism.
Biden's record on free trade, mass immigration, support for foreign wars, and increased foreign competition has been noted in his 47 years in politics.
