Joe Biden is set to shift into a new -- and riskier -- phase of his campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
After entering the race three weeks ago as a stronger-than-expected front-runner, the former vice president is set to deliver a speech at his first major rally of the race Saturday in Philadelphia. Then, Biden and his aides have said, he'll begin rolling out policy proposals. And, he said, he will soon likely begin preparing for the Democratic presidential debates.
Jay Inslee is even pre-butting Biden's speech on climate change, which he will deliver before the end of this month -- though aides would not specify when or where. "I was concerned, like most everyone was, of the comments coming out of this campaign," Inslee said, referring to a recent Reuters report in which a Biden adviser touted a possible approach that seeks a middle ground on climate policy. Biden's campaign has since challenged the accuracy of that report.
