[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] U.S. President Donald Trump expressed strong confidence by saying that his presidential rival, Vice President Joe Biden, "does not even constitute a variable."


According to foreign media including the American political outlet The Hill, on the 16th (local time), President Trump posted on Twitter, referring to former Vice President Biden by the derogatory nickname "Sleepy Joe," saying, "I am not running against Sleepy Joe Biden. He does not even constitute a variable," and added, "Remember '1% Joe'?" This is interpreted as a reference to Biden's past campaign when he failed to secure support.


President Trump said, "I am running against the radical left, the do-nothing Democrats and their partners, the real opposition, and the pathetic mainstream fake news media!" He added, "They are vicious and crazy. But we will win!" This attack by President Trump came as the Biden campaign released a battleground map for the 2020 election, naming Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and other key states as winnable on the previous day.



The Biden campaign also identified Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida?states where former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was defeated?as regions where former Vice President Biden is expected to win.
