Related: About this forumThe Hill: Biden's launch riles up Trump
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/441268-bidens-launch-riles-up-trumpPresident Trumps decision to ramp up his attacks on Joe Biden suggests he views the former vice president as a major threat at the outset of the 2020 race.
While Trumps team sees flaws in Biden, it considers his broad name recognition, ties to former President Obama and appeal to white, working-class voters as potential advantages for him in a general election match-up.
The president believes he can weaken Bidens chances of winning the Democratic nomination by bloodying him early in the primary, even though Trumps campaign operation prefers not to elevate specific Democrats by singling them out for criticism.

Firefighters union leader on Biden endorsement: 'He has a track record of delivering'
He has a track record of delivering, and were a group that measures it pretty straightforward, Harold Schaitberger told Hill.TVs Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti on Rising.
Joe Biden has had the backs and stood with firefighters across this nation throughout his Senate career, and certainly as vice president of the United States, and so were now prepared to stand with him, Schaitberger said.
He added that Biden has long supported a number of worker-related issues, including fair wages, retirement security and protecting union rights.
