While delivering remarks in Manitowoc, Wisconsin on Monday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to make of mess of trying to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
“I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, under God, for real,” Biden said.
The accurate text of the pledge: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Joe Biden completely botches the Pledge of Allegiance:

Meanwhile, during a Trump rally in Swanton, Ohio on Monday:

Though Joe Biden did recite “under God” during his attempt at reciting the Pledge of Allegiance on Monday, President Donald Trump accused the Democrats of taking the word “God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance at their national convention in August.
“The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!” he declared.
During two caucuses before the evening conventions started, the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly and the LGBTQ Caucus meeting, both Tuesday, left out “under God,” from the pledge, according to The Associated Press.

And another example of the DNC omitting "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
