'If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are.' Joe Biden, during the announcement to run for 2020 US presidential elections
Former US vice president Joe Biden says he's contesting from Democrats against President Trump to save"the soul of the US."
In a video posted on Twitter, Biden focused on the 2017 deadly clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia. Biden noted Trump's comments that there were some "very fine people" on both sides of the violent encounter, which left one woman dead. Among Democrats, Biden has unmatched international and legislative experience, and he is among the best-known faces in the US politics.
But the anti-establishment wave that swept Trump into office has not been kind to either party's statesmen. Biden's team worries about his fundraising ability and his tendency to commit gaffes. His centrist approach in a party moving left on major policy debates raises questions about his appeal. "Biden's fingerprints are all over foreign policy blunders and the weakest economic recovery since World War II," Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said.
