President Trump鈥檚 campaign on Sunday previewed the lines of attack it will take against former Vice President Joe Biden if he鈥檚 the Democratic nominee, saying it will cast him as unfit for office while making the case that he鈥檚 ideologically aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the self-described democratic socialist... The Trump campaign also said Sunday that it would cast Biden鈥檚 efforts to build on ObamaCare through a public option as tantamount to a government takeover of the health insurance industry.
