Joe Biden gets boost from Michelle Obama

Democrats kicked off their convention with a show of unity and a rallying cry fuelled more by animosity towards Donald Trump than affirmations for their own nominee Joe Biden — enlisting progressives, centrists and even Republicans to paper over differences and oust the incumbent.
The debut night, held virtually, put on display the Biden campaign’s desire to make the election a referendum on Trump, unleashing broadsides against the president over the coronavirus, racial justice, character, the shattered economy and the US Postal Service. It included speeches from Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders and four disaffected Republicans, but it was Obama who jabbed the president hardest.
The former first lady described Trump as unfit for office, while blasting him for mismanaging the pandemic and other issues.
“Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country,” she said. “He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us.” “It is what it is,” she added pointedly, a phrase Trump used to describe the state of the coronavirus pandemic that has crippled the US.
Trump responded, bashing Barack Obama’s two terms in office in a series of tweets with unfounded allegations of “corruption,” “treason,” and “spying” on his campaign.
“Somebody please explain to @MichelleObama that Donald J Trump would not be here, in the beautiful White House, if
it weren’t for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama,” Trump wrote.
