Democratic Convention 2020

Did Joe Biden and the Democratic National Convention Forget About Trump's Tariffs?

The last time an incumbent president was defeated, the fact that he'd raised taxes on Americans played a major role. Trump's done the same thing, but the DNC didn't talk about it.

Democratic Convention: Dems Want to Stop Gun Violence, but They Can't Say How
