Joe Biden is targeting ‘Maga’ Republicans – but will the gambit work?
The IndependentJoe Biden has refined his attack line on the Republican Party over the past week – referring to the GOP by the acronym Maga, which stands for “Make America Great Again”, an election slogan synonymous with Donald Trump. The reason they would have to be sure of that before rolling it out to this degree is that it gives the pro-Trump elements of the Republican Party exactly what many of them will be looking for – an opportunity to reinforce the “us v them” mentality. I’m proud of it.” And so we are back to Trump, who on Saturday endorsed Doug Mastriano in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania governor. Mastriano – who is running to the right of the mainstream Republican candidates – has backed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, and also attended the protest that took place before the Capitol riot in January last year.
