Joe Biden Announces Presidential Run

Former Vice President Joe Biden announced his entry into the crowded Democratic primary field Thursday, officially launching his third campaign for the nomination after months of hesitation.

Biden, 76, released a three-and-a-half minute video Thursday morning in which he casts himself as a genial centrist who can unite the country and help lead Americans away from the division he believes President Trump has enflamed. The video illustrates that division through footage of the violent clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va. in the summer of 2017 and Trump’s response to the situation.

"In that moment I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I had ever seen in my lifetime," Biden says of Trump’s claim that there were "very fine people on both sides of the clash."

"I wrote at the time that we are in a battle for the soul of this nation, and that’s true, we are in a battle for the soul of this nation," he continues. "I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment of time, but if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation."
