President Joe Biden delivered a powerful speech in Pittsburgh, where he took aim at former President Donald Trump, labeling him a “loser” both as a candidate and as a person. This remark came during a Laborers’ International Union of North America event, where Biden emphasized the importance of character in leadership.
Addressing a crowd of union workers, Biden asserted that Trump does not care about the working class. “He doesn’t give a damn about union workers—or any workers, for that matter,” Biden stated, arguing that Trump views unions as obstacles to personal wealth accumulation. As he highlighted his own commitment to labor, Biden declared himself the “most pro-union president” in history.
Biden urged union members to mobilize against Trump, stating, “It’s a laborer’s interest to defeat Donald Trump more than any other race you’ve been in, as long as any one of you have been alive.” This call to action resonated strongly with the audience, culminating in Biden’s bold declaration: “Donald Trump is a loser.” The crowd erupted in cheers as he continued, “He’s a loser as a candidate, and—more importantly, in my view, and I’m just going to say it, straight up: He’s a loser as a man.”

This wasn’t the first time Biden has used Trump’s own insult against him. Earlier in October, during a speech in Philadelphia, Biden suggested that Trump was too fearful to engage in another presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. “Tough guy, right? Tough guy. Because he knows he’d lose again,” Biden remarked, reiterating his stance that Trump is indeed a loser.
Biden’s speech reflects a broader strategy to contrast his administration’s commitment to the working class with Trump’s perceived disregard for union values. As the election approaches, these character-driven narratives may play a significant role in shaping voter perceptions.
