Mr. Biden condemned the violence that has occasionally erupted amid largely peaceful protests over racial injustice, and noted that the chaos was occurring on the president\u2019s watch. He said Mr. Trump had made things worse by stoking division amid a national outcry over racism and police brutality.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is re-elected?\u201d he said. \u201cWe need justice in America. We need safety in America. We\u2019re facing multiple crises \u2014 crises that, under Donald Trump, have kept multiplying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden, the Democratic nominee for president, also pressed a broader argument that the president was endangering Americans with his response to the public health and economic challenges the country confronts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
