0:52Now PlayingDemocratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden blasted President Donald Trump, describing him as "an entitled self-serving president who inherited everything in his life and squandered it," as Biden fought for working-class voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania after the most chaotic presidential faceoff in memory.
Biden launched his most aggressive day on the campaign trail all year, with eight stops planned for a train tour that began mid-morning in Cleveland and was ending 10 hours later in western Pennsylvania. Trump was to address voters and donors in Minnesota late in the day.
"I've dealt with guys like Trump my whole life. The guys who might let you park the cars at their country club to pick up a few bucks. But even if you had the money, wouldn't let you join that country club because your religion or because of your background."
Trump has refused to say whether he would accept the results of the election, calling on his supporters to scrutinize voting procedures at the polls - something that critics warned could easily cross into voter intimidation.
Trump also refused at the debate to condemn white supremacists who have supported him, telling one such group known as Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."
Biden didn't quite capture the president's words correctly, but he did capture the essence of Trump debate answer.
"Go online. Look at Proud Boys, they've got a new emblem now," Biden said.
"Literally, it says "stand down and stand by," implying that if he loses the election, something may have to be done.
"The American people are going to speak, and they are going speak in large numbers, Biden said.
"And nobody is going to get in the way of our democratic process going forward. Nobody. Period."
Biden also touted his proposal to spend two trillion dollars on U.S. infrastructure, and he reminded his audience not far from Pittsburgh of his support for organized labor.
"You will have a seat at the table at the White House," Biden said.
"No fundamental decisions we made without you sitting in -- literally, not figuratively. Literally," he said.
