- Shock new poll puts Biden EIGHT points ahead of Trump and makes him the front-runner among his Democrat rivals as the former VP announces a third White House bid
- Obama WON'T endorse Biden on the first day of his former VP's White House campaign as insider says it's 'unlikely' the former president will pick a horse until the massive field of 20 Democrats shrinks
Joe Biden ended months of speculation Thursday when he formally entered the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in an announcement that struck directly at President Donald Trump and laid out the former vice president's vision to led the nation. 'We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,' Biden declared in his announcement video. 'The core values are standing in the world. Everything that has made America America is at stake. That's why today I'm announcing my candidacy for president of the United States.' The 76-year-old career politician will share the primary field with at least 20 other candidates, a record for a major U.S. political party, and his entry comes as new poll shows he would defeat President Trump if the general election were held today.
