Joe Biden won but as NPR (National Public Radio) put it, it was a good election for Republicans not named Trump. Biden may present himself as “Middle-class Joe” but he is a millionaire many times over. His income has not dipped below $200,000 (€169,000) a year since 1998 and in 2017, he earned more than $11 million (€9.3 million). Through candid photos, he vividly illustrates life on the wrong side of the wealth and education divide. More poor and middle-class people voted for Biden than for Clinton in 2016, while Trump increased his vote among the rich.
