Your son Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from a Russian billionaire who was married to the former mayor of Moscow. He also had a joint bank account with a Chinese national that financed $100,000 in credit card purchases around the world. This all happened while you were Vice President. Why would people connected to the Russian and Chinese governments want to give your son millions of dollars?
You recently said you “got started” at Delaware State University, an HBCU. The school says they have no record of you ever attending. What did you major in there?
In June you said you were vetting your own potential Supreme Court picks and promised you would release your own list. Now you say you won’t release a list. Why go back on your pledge?
Your running mate Kamala Harris said last year that she was open to adding as many as 4 seats to the Supreme Court. Now more leading Democrats are saying your party should pack the Supreme Court if they get the chance. Are you refusing to answer whether you will go along with this radical plan because you are too weak to stand up to it?
In January 2017, you said that Democrats should not block President Trump’s nominees for the Supreme Court. You said you believe the Constitution “requires” the Senate “to give the nominee a hearing and a vote.” In 2016 you said “would go forward with the confirmation process” of a Supreme Court nominee “even a few months before a presidential election … just as the Constitution requires." Now you say the Constitution requires the exact opposite. How do you reconcile that change?
In 2008 you promised Americans that if they made less than $250,000 they would not pay a penny more in taxes. You broke that promise and imposed new taxes that directly impacted middle-class Americans. Now you’re claiming you won’t raise taxes on anyone making more than 400,000. Why should voters believe you now, especially since you’ve said you will reinstate the individual mandate tax?
As Vice President, you oversaw the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression. What would you do differently if you were elected?
Your plan would raise the U.S. business tax rate higher than China’s rate. Won’t that make it more expensive for companies to do business in America and ultimately send jobs overseas?
President Trump imposed restrictions on travel from China on January 31 to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Why did it take you two months to say you supported that decision?
In 2008 you and Barack Obama promised to fully fund the federal COPS program, which provides resources to local law enforcement. But funding for this program was cut while you were vice president, despite your promise. Why did you fail to keep your word?
Earlier this year your campaign staff donated money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that bailed out of a jail a rioter who shot at police officers and other violent criminals and sexual predators. Your running mate Kamala Harris also urged people to donate to that organization and is still raising money for it. Do you condone that?
You say if you’re elected you’ll push to give citizenship to the 11 million undocumented people in our country. Why do you believe they should receive Medicare and Social Security benefits?
When you were running for president in 2007, both you and Obama pledged to renegotiate NAFTA, a promise you did not keep when you were in office. You recently blamed Republicans for this, saying they wouldn’t go along with it, but Democrats controlled Congress in 2009 when the Obama Administration announced it would not even try to change NAFTA. So why did you fail to keep your word?
When you voted to give China “most favored nation” trade status in 2000, you said you did not foresee “the collapse of the American manufacturing economy” because of it. But by one estimate, it led to the loss of 1 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Do you acknowledge that your vote to give China most favored nation trade status was a mistake that hurt American workers?
The 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic infected 60 million Americans when you were VP, and the federal government depleted its strategic stockpile of N95 masks in response. A fact check by USA Today found that your administration made no effort to replenish the stockpile of masks, despite warnings from experts. Do you accept responsibility for that failure, which left America unprepared for another pandemic?
Your campaign says it is a “lie” that “the Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion” ticket “in U.S. history.” Are there any restrictions on abortion that you support, and if so, please be specific?
You said the N-word 13 times during a 1985 Senate nomination fight, when you were quoting something attributed to someone else. Do you think that was appropriate to do? Is that the only time you’ve said the N-word?
您的儿子猎人·拜登(Hunter Biden)从俄罗斯亿万富翁那里获得了350万美元的电汇,后者嫁给了莫斯科前市长。他还与一个中国人有一个共同的银行账户,为世界各地的信用卡购买交易提供了100,000美元的资金。这一切都是在您担任副总裁时发生的。为什么与俄罗斯和中国政府有联系的人想给您的儿子数百万美元?
您最近说过,您在HBCU的特拉华州立大学“入门”。学校说他们没有你参加的记录。你在那里主修什么?
六月,您说过您正在审查自己可能的最高法院选秀权,并承诺将发布自己的名单。现在,您说您不会发布列表。为什么要重新履行您的承诺?
您的竞选伴侣卡玛拉•哈里斯(Kamala Harris)去年说,她愿意向最高法院增加多达4个席位。现在,更多的领先民主党人说,如果他们有机会,您的政党应该打包最高法院。您是否拒绝回答您是否会因为根本太虚弱而无法接受这一激进计划?
您在2017年1月说过,民主党人不应该阻止特朗普总统提名的最高法院法官。您说过,您相信宪法“要求”参议院“给被提名人进行听证和投票。” 在2016年,您说“将继续进行最高法院候选人的确认程序”,“甚至在总统选举之前的几个月……正如《宪法》所要求的。”现在您说《宪法》要求完全相反。如何调和这一点?更改?
您在2008年向美国人许诺,如果他们的年收入不足25万美元,他们将不会多付一分钱的税。您违反了诺言,并征收了直接影响中产阶级美国人的新税。现在,您声称您不会对收入超过40万的任何人提高税收。为什么选民现在应该相信您,尤其是自从您说过将恢复个人法定税款以来?
作为副总统,您监督了自大萧条以来最疲软的经济复苏。如果当选,您会做些什么?
您的计划将把美国营业税率提高到高于中国的税率。这是否会使公司在美国开展业务并最终向海外派遣工作变得更加昂贵?
特朗普总统于1月31日对从中国来的旅行实施了限制,以打击冠状病毒的传播。为什么要花两个月才能说您支持该决定?
在2008年,您和巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)承诺全额资助联邦COPS计划,该计划为当地执法部门提供资源。但是,尽管您答应了,但在您担任副总裁期间,该计划的资金却被削减了。你为什么不遵守诺言?
今年早些时候,您的竞选工作人员向明尼苏达州自由基金会捐款,该组织从监狱中救出了一名暴徒,向警察,其他暴力罪犯和性掠食者开枪。您的竞选伙伴卡马拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)也敦促人们向该组织捐款,并且仍在为该组织筹集资金。你宽恕了吗?
您说如果当选将推动我们国家的1100万无证件公民获得公民身份。您为什么认为他们应该获得医疗保险和社会保障福利?
当您在2007年竞选总统时,您和奥巴马都承诺重新谈判北美自由贸易协定,这是您上任时没有遵守的诺言。您最近将此归咎于共和党人,说他们不会这样做,但是民主党人在2009年控制了国会,当时奥巴马政府宣布甚至不打算改变北美自由贸易协定。那你为什么不遵守诺言呢?
当您在2000年投票决定给予中国“最惠国”贸易地位时,您说您并没有因此而预见到“美国制造业经济的崩溃”。但是据估计,这导致美国失去了100万个制造业就业机会。您是否承认您对中国给予最惠国待遇的投票是对美国工人造成伤害的错误?
当您担任副总裁时,2009年的H1N1猪流感大流行感染了6000万美国人,而作为回应,联邦政府耗尽了N95口罩的战略库存。《今日美国》的事实调查发现,尽管有专家警告,您的政府仍未努力补充口罩的库存。您是否对这次失败负责,而这次失败使美国没有为另一场大流行做好准备?
您的竞选活动说,“ Biden-Harris机票是美国历史上最彻底的堕胎”机票是一个“谎言”。您支持的堕胎有任何限制,如果有,请具体说明?
您在1985年参议院提名之战中说了13次N字,当时您引用的是别人的话。您认为这样做合适吗?那是您唯一一次说过N字吗?
