Joe Biden has announced his 2020 Democratic presidential run, after teasing an official announcement for weeks.
The former vice president has held off on officially announcing until now, although he has been included in polls and reports about the Democratic candidates for months.
Biden said he is running because the “core values” of the US, “our very democracy… everything that has made America, America, is at stake.”
In a video message launching his campaign, Biden opens with a reference to Charlottesville and the white supremacist march that took place there in 2018. Biden said President Donald Trump’s reaction to the event, at which one counter-protester was killed, threatened the values of the US.
Despite not officially announcing until now, strong criticism has already been levied against Biden, including allegations he inappropriately touches and kisses women and children.
Biden is seen as the ideal candidate among the Democratic establishment, given his long history in politics and his position within the Barack Obama White House. He might not appeal to the more liberal Democratic voters who may view him as too old, white, and centrist. His centrist appeal is exemplified by reports that the late Senator John McCain’s Republican family will support his presidential bid.
