It comes as no surprise that Joe Biden is running for President. But how would he approach the race? Now we know. Donald Trump poses a “threat to this nation.” Biden released this video Thursday morning.
The core values of this nation… our standing in the world… our very democracy…everything that has made America — America –is at stake. That’s why today I’m announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. #Joe2020 https://t.co/jzaQbyTEz3

As for whether Biden will get an endorsement from Barack Obama, a spokesperson for the former president says he won’t be endorsing any particular candidate but there was this message.

Donald Trump also wasted no time commenting.
Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty – you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!
