Several speakers accused Biden of wanting to defund the police, even though he has rejected that position. At a fundraiser on Thursday, Biden, 77, said Trump, 74 had used the spectre of violence as a "political strategy," rather than actually aiming to address it. "Donald Trump keeps saying it won't be safe in Joe Biden's America," he said. Earlier this week, 27 former Republican lawmakers endorsed Biden while the Lincoln Project, among the most prominent Republican-backed groups opposing Trump, said a former Republican Party head had joined it as a senior adviser. Trump kicked off the week on Monday by accusing Democrats of seeking to steal the election by advocating for mail-in voting.
