President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump held dueling campaign events in Georgia on Saturday – and traded barbs over the death of a nursing student and immigration as they turned their focus towards the general election.
Their campaign rallies, which were the second time Mr. Biden and Trump were in the same state in recent weeks, were underscored by the recent death of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia nursing student who was killed by an alleged undocumented immigrant from Venezuela while jogging on campus.
Mr. Biden apologized during an interview with MSNBC on Saturday, for using the term "illegal" to describe the man who allegedly killed Riley during his State of the Union address. He said he shouldn't have used that specific language.
