HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) In a forceful rebuke to President Donald Trump and other Washington Republicans, former Vice President Joe Biden told fellow Democrats in New York on Thursday that the GOP has abandoned traditional American values in the name of phony populism and fake nationalism.
Speaking at the partys New York state convention on Long Island, Biden urged his party to stand for tolerance and efforts to expand education and economic opportunity.

Bidens remarks came during a speech endorsing Gov. Andrew Cuomos bid for a third term.

Dutchess County Marc Molinaro won the GOP nomination for governor at that partys convention Wednesday in Manhattan.
