Biden rallies Democrats, slams Trump at Maryland Democratic Party gala

HANOVER — Former President Joe Biden embraced the theme of the Maryland Democratic Party’s “Fight Back & Win” gala Saturday night, urging state Democrats to stand up to President Donald Trump and his administration.

Biden used his 10 minute speech to blast Trump’s failings and accused him of profiting off the presidency, saying Trump has made billions of dollars since he returned to the White House. He called it “brazen blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.”

And he urged the crowd to do something about it, saying “It’s time to get up, dammit. Get up. Get up, now.”

An individual who tried to interrupt the former president’s speech was escorted out of the room, but for the most part, Biden spoke to a friendly audience who cheered and applauded throughout his remarks.
