Biden says Trump reelection would result in ‘nightmare’

President Biden warned that former President Trump getting elected in 2024 would be a nightmare for the country while campaigning in Nevada ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

The president rallied voters Sunday in Las Vegas, outlining his predecessor and political rival’s history on veterans, gun violence, and health care.

“Now, imagine the nightmare if Donald Trump is reelected,” Biden said to the crowd. 

He first recalled when Trump reportedly called World War II veterans at an American cemetery in France “suckers” and "losers” in 2018.

“I’m glad I wasn’t there. To call my son and your sons and daughters who gave their lives for this country ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’  That’s how this guy thinks,” Biden said. “Who the hell does he think he is?”

He then recalled that Trump said people should “get over” the school shooting in Perry, Iowa, during a campaign rally last month.

“Well, we’re not going to get over it.  We’re going to stop it,” Biden said to the crowd at Pearson Community Center in Las Vegas.

And, he said Trump is “denying we have a problem with climate” and “promising to get rid of the Affordable [Care] Act again if they get elected.”

Biden has consistently warned against another Trump presidency on the campaign trail. He also said in January at a fundraiser in Miami, “now imagine the nightmare if Trump returned to office.”

Biden goes into Tuesday’s primary after a win in the Democratic primary in South Carolina on Saturday and a win in New Hampshire last month through a write-in campaign. Nevada will be a critical state in the general election after recent polls have shown the president trailing Trump in seven swing states, including Nevada, in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup

Nevada will hold both a Republican caucus and primary after a protracted legal battle between the state and the Nevada Republican Party. Trump will run in Nevada’s caucuses on Thursday, while Republican Nikki Haley runs in Tuesday's primary.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) has endorsed Trump, after saying in September that he would not make an endorsement in the presidential primary.
