Obama blasts Trump, praises Biden in new 2020 campaign video Joe Biden and Barack Obama are stepping up their attacks on President Donald Trump and defending their time in the White House in a new videoWASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama stepped up their attacks on President Donald Trump and defended their time in the White House in a new video showing their first in-person meeting since the coronavirus outbreak began. The former White House partners used an interview-style conversation to amplify Biden's arguments against Trump, with Obama emphasizing Biden's experience and personal attributes. “Those words didn’t come out of our mouths while we were in office,” Obama replied. Obama hosted a virtual fundraiser for his former vice president last month that raised $7.6 million, the most of any Biden campaign event so far. He warned then against Democrats becoming “complacent and smug.”In other exchanges, Obama and Biden blasted Trump's view of American society, and Obama praised Biden as possessing empathy that he said Trump lacks.
