Former President Joe Biden told Nebraska Democrats on Friday that their party "is back" after a series of sweeping election wins last week and also accused President Donald Trump of destroying the Constitution and cutting health care and food assistance for millions of Americans. Biden, 82, speaking at the Nebraska Democratic Party’s "Ben Nelson Gala" in Omaha, also urged Republicans to end the ongoing government shutdown and said his late son, Beau Biden, should have been president, not himself. "The Democratic Party is back. That's not hyperbole," Biden said. "Did you see the election results?" CHUCK TODD SAYS BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY WAS SO 'WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE' IT MADE PEOPLE GO BACK TO TRUMP Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J. and former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., won gubernatorial races in their respective states, while Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani scored a stunning victory to become New York City’s next mayor. The wins came a year after former Vice President Kamala Harris suffered a stinging defeat to Trump. Harris was propelled to the top of the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket after Biden backed out of the race following a blistering debate performance against Trump. "Well, the American people are sending a message, a message to Trump and to his crowd," Biden said, accusing the president of trampling on democracy and working for the rich. "I just want you to know you work for us, Mr. President. We don't work for you," Biden said. "You work for us, not just billionaires and millionaires. You know, this is democracy . And the fact of the matter is that there are no kings in democracies. None. None. But you act in a way that embarrasses the nation." Biden said Trump and the GOP were cutting health care programs and driving up costs, adding that more than 300 rural hospitals in America, including two in Nebraska, are expected to shut down.
