'In many respects, the former vice-president’s persona is antithetical to Trump’s. The president sells himself as a devious genius; Biden, as a decent mediocrity.'
If you were running for president, he’d vote for you! Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images At a metal plant in Pennsylvania on Thursday, Joe Biden unveiled his plan for boosting America’s manufacturing sector . The presumptive Democratic nominee’s $700 billion proposal would dramatically increase federal procurement of American-made industrial materials for infrastructure and medical stockpiles, while also investing in U.S.
The coal miner gets black-lung disease, his son gets it, then his son. If I had been the son of a coal miner, I would have left the damn mines. But most people don’t have the imagination — or whatever — to leave their mine. They don’t have “it.” The presumptive Democratic nominee is not anyone’s idea of a spellbinding orator or policy wonk. His Senate career is full of legislative accomplishments. But he was never all that famous or beloved on the national stage. His first two presidential campaigns were notable only in their ineptness. He’s known primarily for serving as a political superstar’s affable, competent subordinate. He won the 2020 primary by being broadly palatable, not singularly inspirational.
Biden’s rhetoric here is a flat rejection of Trump as person, politician, and idea. In his account, greatness isn’t achieved by distinguishing oneself from the herd of coal miners’ sons who lacked the “it” necessary for rising beyond their station; it’s won by fulfilling your obligations to family and community.
