U.S. President Donald Trump and his election challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, on Thursday accused each other as being unfit for office.Trump, who is 74, characterized his 78-year-old opponent as “shot” and “weak” and alleged that “something is off” with Biden’s mental state.Speaking at a political rally in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin, 47 days before the election, the Republican president added that Biden “doesn’t know he’s alive.”Biden, in Pennsylvania, criticized Trump as being “totally irrational” in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and discouraging people from following the scientific advice of the government’s own health experts.“You’ve got to level with the American people — shoot from the shoulder,” said Biden. “The president should step down.”If Trump had acted earlier, he would have saved thousands of American lives from the coronavirus, according to Biden.“He knew it and he did nothing,” Biden said. “It’s close to criminal.””I’ve been doing this a long time. I never, ever thought I would see such a thoroughly, totally irresponsible administration,” said Biden.Sorry, but your browser cannot support embedded video of this type, you can

Their first debate will be on September 29 in Cleveland, Ohio.“I have gone back and talked about and looked at not only the things he said, but making sure I can concisely say what I’m for and what I’m going to do,” Biden said about his preparation for the debates.Biden said there is not yet a person in his campaign playing Trump for the debate preparation.“There are a couple of people, they ask me questions if they were like as if they were President Trump,” said the former vice president. “But I’m looking forward to it.”Trump, earlier this week, when asked how we was getting ready for the encounters with Biden said he is following his normal routine “by just doing what I’m doing.”Patsy Widakuswara in Mosinee, Wisconsin, contributed to this story.
