DETROIT – Seeking to revive his

struggling reelection campaign, Presi-
dent Joe Biden held a rare rally in De-
troit on Friday, telling a cheering crowd
he wasn’t going to leave the race and
warning that Republican Donald
Trump poses a serious threat.
Biden, 81, is trying to shift the con-
versation from his mental sharpness
and a growing number of Democratic
defections to the impact of another
Trump presidency, as he tries to reboot
his campaign after a shaky debate per-
formance on June 27.
“I am running and we’re going to
win,” he said to a crowd that carried
“Motown is Joetown” signs and
chanted: “Don’t you quit.”
“I’m the nominee,” he said. “I’m not
going anywhere.”
Pointing to the press area in the
gym, Biden said: “They’ve been ham-
mering me,” to which the crowd booed.
“Guess what, Donald Trump has got-
ten a free pass,” he added.
“Hopefully with age comes a little
wisdom,” Biden said, in a defiant and
sometimes gleeful performance.
“Here’s what I know – I know how to
tell the truth, I know right from wrong
… and I know Americans want a presi-
dent, not a dictator.”
Biden also laid out what he intend-
ed to do with his first 100 days of a sec-

A
set of conservative policy proposals known as Project 2025 has
become a lightning rod for opponents of Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump as they seek to highlight what they say are
the dangers of him retaking the White House. h Trump has recently
tried to distance himself from Project 2025, even though many of his closest
policy advisers are deeply involved. h The campaign of Democratic President
Joe Biden says the project is proof that Trump would adopt a series of
authoritarian and hard-right policies if elected.

FIELD LEVEL MEDIA

Ludvig Aberg claimed a one-shot

lead at the Scottish Open on Friday,
clear of the field with a tournament
score of 12-under with defending
champion Rory McIlroy just three
shots off the pace.
Aberg delivered the best 36-hole
score (128) of his career with back-to-
back rounds of 64 to establish the
scoring record through two rounds at
The Renaissance Club in events when
par is 70.
He entered the clubhouse early with
a one-shot lead over France’s Antoine
Rozner (11 under) and wrapped his 36th
hole before McIlroy was fully into his
second 18 on Friday.
“There’s, what, 150-something
players in the field? No one is going to
play perfect golf for 72 holes,” Aberg
said Friday.
“I think it’s going to happen to ev-
eryone at some point, and whenever
that happens, you’ve just got to try to
deal with it the best you can, and all I
can do is try to put good swings on it,
and then hopefully the decision that
we’ve made is the right one and try to
hit it again when we find it.”
Weather has been a rare non-factor
in North Berwick, Scotland, with tem-
peratures in the low 60s and wind
speeds barely noticeable at less than
10 mph.
First-round leader Justin Thomas
dropped well off the pace with a 72 in
the second round, 10 shots worse than
his round on Thursday.
