Biden Announced His Candidacy. Will His Record Help or Hurt Him? | NYT News

Joseph R. Biden Jr. was a two-term vice president and spent 36 years as a senator. But his front-runner status in the Democratic primary will be tested by the party’s desire for generational change.

this dude has been in DC since the '70s and knows everyone there, how is he going to create change? I'd say he's the opposite of change.

[piattrocks]

I'm all in on Andrew Yang, because the policies on his website line up with my beliefs almost 1 to 1.

[stephansaunders]

Thanks for the Iraq war Joe. You can go back into retirement now.

[Ethereally]

This video makes a good point, I've been convinced to vote for Andrew Yang in the primary

[aWicketWolf]

So...what are his policies again? Bcuz what this video just named is Obama version 1.5 vague to me.

This video was posted nearly 2 weeks ago with only less than 50k views. Video about Andrew Yang was posted yesterday with over 80k views. Let that sink in NYT and other MSM.

If he gets the nomination I'm cool with that. Any one who says that they won't vote for any candidate because he or she is not the one you're hoping for please remember how we got Trump in the first place. If Trump gets a second term in office because you would not support the Democratic nominee then you will deserve whatever personal hardship he inflicts on you.

I only know one person excited by this news and that person is elderly, wealthy, and just quit the Republican Party... everyone in the real world is voting for Sanders.

[WilliamThePayne]

Give me Bernie or Yang over this guy any day!!!

[machiel]

I wish he hadn’t run. This complicated things

[alexdabruh]

As much as I love uncle Joe during the Obama Administration, as he does seems to have a heart. But him being the democratic nominee will just be Trump vs Clinton again, how did that turn out? #YANG2020

Now that Joe Biden is our current us President and Kamala Harris is our current Vice President, how many people here feel about him as president and Kamala Harris as Vice President? Well I for one feel good to have him and his running mate in Washington DC.

[alanbourbeau]

Well I was planning on voting for Donald Trump for this year's presidential election but now I'm seriously considering of voting for Joe Biden. And do you know why? Because from what I learned about him is that he's a sincere practicing Catholic. Some of my friends from my Knights of Columbus council may not agree with me. Plus I just about had it with Trump and his deceptions. Don't think Joe Biden can win? We shall see what happens.

It’s not just “thirst for generational change” as stated at the end of the video, but also “thirst for someone who *isn’t* a creepy old white guy.”

[pwgearedturbofan]

lol at superficial identity politics like "generational change" and the "me too" bs. Biden was touchy with Obama, too, lol. Andrew Yang is the best candidate we have. If Dems don't choose him, then we'll get Donald "Stable Genius, Big Hands" Trump for another 4 years.

I do like how we have so many candidates running, though. The debates should be fun.

[realdealholyfield]

Supported Segregation, supported the horrible trade deals, supported the Iraq war, supported the credit card companies who made it harder to forgive student loan debt, that’s just a few, but now that he’s old he’s now the “favorite”. Come on America, use your brains!

[pruettb]

Corporate democrat will get all his money from lobbyist and special interest.  The DCCC will love him, the media will claim he's a front runner with no base to back up that support.  All those in power love corporate pleasing politicians regardless of party.

[bascal]

I just don’t think he has the personal charisma to win, he doesn’t excite me, I don’t admire him.

[chrisjoondeph]

“As a white man in his 70s” that is literally the two front runners and a majority in the polls. Let’s not kid ourselves.

[olliepopAMV]

😂😂😂😂 everybody supports Andrew yang in this video 🎗
