The Biden Campaign had a scathing response to Donald Trump after he challenged the president to a $1 million charity golf match.
It seems as though Trump, 78, has had enough of all the cheap talk about his golfing skills and is ready to take Joe Biden, 81, down once and for all.
Speaking during a rally at his Doral course in south Florida, the former president challenged Biden to a golf match, even offering $1 million to a charity of Biden's choice if he lost the match.
"I'm also officially challenging crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here on Doral's Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the great courses of the world," Trump said at the venue.
"It will be among the most-watched sporting events in history. Maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters," he continued before going on to state that he would even offer the current president an upper hand - that's how confident he was.
"...I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a side. Ten strokes, that's a lot. That means 20 strokes, in case you don't play golf. And if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity of his choice, $1 million.
"And I'll bet you he doesn't take the offer," he added.
Instead, James Singer, a spokesperson for Biden's official campaign has shared a scathing response for the business tycoon.
"Donald Trump hasn't been seen in public for 12 days, now he's inviting fictional serial killers to dinner, teasing lil' Marco Rubio, praising Project 2025 architect Tom Homan, and challenging the President of the United States to golf," Singer said via a statement as per The Hill.
"We'd challenge Donald Trump to create jobs, but he lost 3 million," he continued. We'd challenge Donald Trump to stand up to Putin, but he bent the knee to him. We'd challenge Donald Trump to follow the law, but he breaks it. We'd challenge Donald Trump to not destroy our country, but that's all his Project 2025 aims to do."
And just to add insult to injury, Singer referred to Trump's recent requests as "weird."
"Joe Biden doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics – he's busy leading America and defending the free world" he added, before concluding: "Donald Trump is a liar, a convict, and a fraud only out for himself – par for the course."
Now that's going to be a difficult one to recover from.
The golf challenge comes just over a week after the pair went head-to-head during a Presidential debate in Atlanta, where golf became another trending topic yet again.
Trump assured listeners that he was physically fit by confirming that he has, in fact, won two club championships when discussing fitness, while Biden allegedly couldn't even drive a ball 50 yards.
Well, according to Singer's response, I think he's got bigger things to worry about at the moment.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained a relative of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as part of the Trump administration’s intensifying immigration enforcement efforts.
Bruna Caroline Ferreira, the mother of Leavitt’s nephew, was taken into custody in Revere, Massachusetts, according to multiple reports.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security told NBC News that Ferreira is a “criminal illegal alien from Brazil” accused of overstaying a tourist visa that expired in 1999.
A White House spokesperson also added: “Karoline had no involvement whatsoever in this matter.”
She was arrested on suspicion of battery and is now being held at a South Louisiana ICE Processing Center nearly 1,700 miles from home.
Ferreira’s sibling, Graziela Dos Santos Rodrigues, has created a GoFundMe campaign seeking funds for legal expenses. The family hopes the support will give Ferreira a “chance to return home to her family.”
On the fundraising page, Rodrigues wrote that Ferreira arrived in the U.S. as a child and had “maintained her legal status through DACA.”
She described her sister as “hardworking, kind, and always the first to offer help when someone needs it.”
Rodrigues added that Ferreira’s 11-year-old son, Michael Leavitt Jr., is struggling without his mother: “Bruna’s absence has been especially painful for her 11-year-old son… who hopes every single day that she’ll be home in time for the holidays.”
NBC reported, however, that Leavitt’s nephew has lived full-time in New Hampshire since birth and has never resided with his mother.
Past reporting from The Cullman Times revealed that Michael Leavitt, Karoline’s brother, had been engaged to Ferreira as recently as 2014.
That same year, he won $1,008,001 in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker contest. “I’m speechless… I can’t believe it,” he said at the time.
Ferreira, quoted in that 2014 article, said she planned to use a portion of the winnings to buy “a lamp for my son’s room,” adding, “We really are blessed.”
The pair reportedly split not long after, and a source told WBUR that Leavitt and Ferreira have been separated for around a decade.
Karoline and Michael Leavitt grew up in New Hampshire with their siblings, where their parents owned a local ice cream shop and a used truck dealership.
Karoline later rose to national prominence as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc. before becoming the face of the Trump administration.
Leavitt has been a vocal supporter of the administration’s strict immigration agenda. Earlier this year, she reiterated Trump’s warnings to those living in the country illegally:
“If you invade our nation’s borders… you are going to be deported… and you may be held at Guantanamo Bay,” she said, via The Independent.
“These are criminals we are talking about – don’t forget that.”
In October, she declined to comment on whether emergency rooms should check a patient’s immigration status, saying the question was better left to “healthcare professionals and legal experts.”
New polling shows growing public discomfort with the administration’s enforcement efforts.
Only 34 percent of Americans now approve of ICE’s activities – down four points from last month.
A year ago, 56 percent supported mass deportations, but a turbulent year of raids across major cities has sharply divided public opinion.
