After rocky start, Joe Biden launches his presidential campaign by hunterw
WASHINGTON — It’s been a long, strange trip for Joe Biden, who officially jumped into the crowded field of Democrats running for president on Thursday morning with a call to defend our “core values.”
“But 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. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen,” Biden said. “He took so long. Was he really thinking about the specifics? Or was he just waffling and saying, ‘Well, I really want to run for president. I might do it. I might not,’” the ex-staffer said.
“You’re talking about the most voluble character in politics, and he talks to a lot of people. So, my guess is, if there have been leaks, a lot have come from him inadvertently because he’s talking about this stuff,” the strategist said.“I mean some of this stuff is just priced into the stock,” the strategist said, adding, “Everyone’s strengths are weaknesses, and he’s a garrulous, genuine guy.”
“He would come right out of the gate going at Trump and saying what he’s done to us is unacceptable,” the staffer said of a Charlottesville campaign kickoff.
