By Henry Olsen Henry Olsen Columnist focusing on politics, populism, and American conservative thought Email Bio Follow Columnist April 24 at 3:16 PM Former vice president Joe Biden will reportedly announce his long-awaited presidential candidacy Thursday in a video.
Hi, I’m Joe Biden. I’ve come to my old family home here in Scranton, Pa., to ask my old neighbors if they will back me as I try to replace Donald Trump as the next president of the United States. I hope you will join them, too. I’m old enough to remember when Republicans and Democrats agreed we should fight climate change and racism. I’m old enough to remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., women’s liberation and Stonewall. I’m old enough to remember when the old America that I grew up in decided it was time to make all Americans full and equal citizens, and that we were going to do it together. America was stronger then, and I want to bring that America back.
Some people call me moderate because I believe in old-fashioned American values. If that’s moderation, then I’m guilty as charged.
