OTTUMWA, Iowa – Joe Biden will take on Donald Trump Tuesday in a wide-ranging speech that lambastes the president on everything from the impact of the tariff war with China to climate change, to the Trump administration’s past attempts to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

The former vice president plans to deliver a lengthy speech directly targeting the president as both he and Trump touch down in different parts of the heartland state.

“There’s a lot of ways Trump fails the basic standard to be president — but one of them is this: Donald, it’s not about you. It’s about America,” Biden is expected to say later today in an address in Davenport, according to prepared remarks released by the campaign.

“Did he do anything to signal that he’s prepared to walk away from the thugs he’s embraced on the world stage — from Putin to Kim Jong Un? No. He did none of that. Instead, he gets up in the middle of the night to attack Bette Midler. He attacks the mayor of London. He attacks the American Speaker of the House. It was a stunning display of childishness for the whole world to see.”

7. I wouldn't watch any "news" stations that did that.

If they start editing political speeches of candidates, based on who they favor, they'll do it to both parties.

There seems to be a trend among Democrats to watch and read only favorable news. I hope this trend corrects itself. I understand not wanting to watch Trump. I tend to change the channel because I can't take the lies, anymore. But that's ME who's making the choice. Not the news stations.

2. Good on ya, Biden!

3. Why would he announce what he's going to say....and then say it ahead of time?

Makes no sense.

6. Because his campaign knows that he can't count on the media to cover his live speeches

So he is maximizing coverage, otherwise. Just my guess but it seems to make sense...

8. It makes perfect sense...

1) IT gets buzz. People start talking about it hours before the speech.
2) They tune into the speech to hear what he has to say.
3) It goads Trump.
