    The Biden campaign plans to highlight what it’s calling an “extreme MAGA blueprint” by GOP candidates during the first Republican presidential debate, according to a memo first shared with NBC News.

    The memo, written by campaign communications director Michael Tyler, lays out five criticisms of the GOP field, including Republicans’ views on cutting Social Security and Medicare, lowering taxes for the rich, banning abortion, protecting the gun lobby and undermining democracy, which focuses on election deniers.

    “The 2024 Republicans are focusing on litigating the benefits of slavery, which books they want to ban from schools, and a made-up war on ‘woke’ that they themselves can’t even define,” the memo said.

    Nine GOP presidential candidates, including Trump, appear to have met the Republican National Committee’s fundraising and polling requirements to qualify for the debate.

    The Biden campaign memo refers to candidates’ views on abortion as “wildly unpopular, extreme, and out of step with the American people as it is harmful.”

    Trump has touted that he “killed” Roe v. Wade," but an NBC News poll from June found that 61% of registered voters disapprove of the Supreme Court’s decision that overturned the landmark ruling last year.
