Donald Trump is set to tell voters that Democratic rival Joe Biden would pursue the “most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee” when he delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

Mr Trump has complained that the Democrats’ message was too dark and pessimistic when they held their own scaled-back convention last week.
