Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden attends services at South Carolina church, where voters say they want a fighter
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-attends-services-at-south-carolina-baptist-church-where-voters-say-they-want-a-fighter/While the pews were undoubtedly packed with those seeking spiritual fulfillment, two attendees shifted the conversation to politics before the prayers. Biden and Dr. Jill Biden sat in the front row of the large church, which was filled almost entirely by black congregants.
Pamela Andrews Hutto, a 66-year-old retired English teacher, said her No. 1 issue is beating Mr. Trump.
"Trump is destroying America," Hutto said. "There is so much hatred now. I see it."
"I see it where people would keep their mouths closed years ago, but they feel free to talk about them because he does," she added.
Allen Green, 56, said Biden can "straighten out" the president.
"[Biden] said he wanted to take him out to the barn and I think [Mr. Trump] might need a nice little barn-settling," Green said, referring to the Biden's statement last year that he would have "beat the hell out" of the president for his comments about women.
Marie Jackson, 64, said she does not view the president as "for the people."
"I think he could be a little easier on the people. I don't think the wall needs to be up," Jackson said, referring to Mr. Trump's promised border wall.
Since announcing his candidacy in late April, Biden's stump speech has regularly included denunciations of Mr. Trump's conduct, particularly the president's reaction to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.
