The values that built America "are being shredded by a president who's all about himself," former Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday as the potential 2020 White House candidate and President Donald Trump held duelling rallies in Nevada weeks before Election Day.

As early voting in the pivotal state got underway, Trump appeared in rural Elko, wrapping up a swing of Western states where he campaigned for Republican candidates, while Biden was several hundred miles south in Las Vegas at a union local.

Biden, whose appearance ended shortly before Trump's began, said the United States was founded "on an idea, the American idea, basic fundamental decency, and it's being shredded."
"But my God, think of what's going on now," Biden said, bemoaning that those values "are being shredded by a president who's all about himself. It's all about Donald."
