‘I don’t know what they’re for’: Joe Biden says Republican party ‘has no platform’
With just over two weeks until election day, a new poll in the crucial Ohio Senate race shows Democrat Tim Ryan in a tie with his Republican rival JD Vance, meaning that one of the Republicans’ must-hold seats remains a toss-up.
Other races, however, are not moving Democrats’ way. The Senate race in Pennsylvania between John Fetterman and Dr Mehmet Oz also appears to be tightening to within the margin of error, while Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott holds an 11-point lead against Democrat Beto O’Rourke. And in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis has a similarly chunky lead over Charlie Crist.
Meanwhile, with just over two weeks to go until election day, President Joe Biden has vowed to protect women’s reproductive rights from the threat of a Republican-controlled Congress, insisting he will veto any legislation relating to a national abortion ban.
The president described the Republicans as having no platform, saying he didn’t know what they stood for other than wanting to undo everything achieved by his administration so far.
