Joe Biden campaign seeks support from classically-red North Florida veterans
With five days until Election Day, Joe Bidens campaign is seeking support from veterans to help carry Florida on Tuesday.
Veterans for Biden North Florida are hoping targeted the military vote with a virtual press conference Thursday that featured veterans including Navy Rear Adm. Bill Shannon and Air Force Brig. Gen. Charlie Martinez. The pair, the Biden campaign and others highlighted the former Vice Presidents plan to support veterans and other platforms like foreign policy.
Biden understands the world stage, said Shannon, who already cast his ballot for the former Vice President. Biden also understands alliances and military service, unlike President Donald Trump, he added.
I want a president who thinks strategically, not transactionally, and who speaks up for our troops when hey are threatened by our enemies, Shannon said.
Martinez, who was born in Havana, Cuba, before moving to the United States at a young age, told reporters that the Presidents attacks against the media and jokes that he would run for reelection even after reaching his term limit showed he has ambitions of being a dictator.
We have a president who just adores foreign dictators from Turkey to Russia to North Korea, Martinez said. He just loves them, and I think he would like to be one of them.
