Former Vice President Joe Biden doubled down on his condemnation of President Donald Trump’s politics during his official campaign kickoff on Saturday in Philadelphia, branding himself as a candidate who will foster unity. “Our politics traffic in division and our president is the divider-in-chief,” Biden told a cheering crowd. “They’ve got President Donald Trump.”“I’m running to offer our country ― Democrats, Republicans and Independents ― a different path,” Biden added. Biden raised similar criticisms of the president in his April campaign launch video, which began with a denunciation of Trump’s weak response to deadly violence at a rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. Throughout his speech, the candidate focused less on specific policy matters than he did on what he felt is a common purpose among the left ― beating Trump.
