2:33Now PlayingJoe Biden is pitching an economic message as he campaigns in Arizona with his running mate Kamala Harris, telling a union crowd that President Donald Trump "looks down on" working Americans.
The Democratic presidential nominee told a masked, socially distanced crowd at a Phoenix area union training facility that the country "deserves a president who understands what the American people are going through. Who sees who you are, what you want to be."
A key part of Biden's closing argument ahead of the Nov. 3 election is to pitch Trump as only pretending to care about the working-class voters that propelled his 2016 victory.
He blasted the Republican president for walking away from congressional negotiations for a new pandemic relief package and for asking courts to strike down the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Biden said those moves will hurt millions of workers and small businesses.
Moments earlier, Biden's running mate Kamala Harris urged Arizonans to vote "like your life depends on it," because, she says, "it really does."
Harris continued to blast Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, just as she did in her debate Wednesday night against Vice President Mike Pence.
Harris said Trump's "reckless disregard for human life and for the well-being of the American people has allowed it to spread the way we have seen."
She also urged Arizonans to vote for Democratic Senate candidate Mark Kelly. His bid to unseat Sen. Martha McSally will be key to determining whether Democrats regain control of the Senate.
Joe Biden and Harris are campaigning for the first time together since their nominating convention in August, and they chose Arizona to highlight the critical new battleground.
Early voting began this week in Arizona, and Democrats believe population growth and Trump's sliding support among suburban voters make the GOP-leaning state a pickup opportunity.
