On Friday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden concluded the 2020 Democratic National Convention. While left-leaning articles highlight that Biden offered sharp attacks on Trump as a dark force, right-leaning articles highlight that Trump said Biden’s acceptance speech was “just words.”
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Biden offered a sharp attack on Trump as a dark force, framing the election as a stark choice and promising as president to be “an ally of the light, not the darkness.” The article also notes that the opening night of the convention had been good to and for Biden, as friends and colleagues offered testimony about his resilience and his empathy.
A centrist article by NPR highlights key takeaways from the convention, which includes Biden delivering the best speech of his career to the American people with a clarity of message, one of light versus dark. The article also notes that a unified Democratic Party was on display, but their economic message didn’t go beyond saying that the pandemic had to be solved.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Trump quickly reacted to Biden’s acceptance speech, tweeting that Biden “will never change, just words!” Host of “Fox News Sunday” Chris Wallace labeled Biden’s nomination speech as “enormously effective” and blew a big hole in Trump’s characterization of Biden’s declining cognitive skills.
