Biden And Trump Key In On Seniors In Campaign’s Final Weeks

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden speaks about his vision for older Americans Tuesday in Pembroke Pines, Fla. President Trump won the senior vote four years ago.

With just three weeks left in the presidential race, Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Trump are heavily courting senior citizens, a crucial voting bloc that has been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

“[Trump’s] never been focused on you. His handling of this pandemic has been erratic, just like his presidency has been. And it has prevented Florida seniors and people all across the country from getting the relief that they need,” Biden said Tuesday in remarks, delivered with a mask on, in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

Seniors make up a sizeable share of voters in the all-important toss-up state.
