Veteran Democrat Joe Biden campaigned for president in all but name Saturday, declining to announce his 2020 plans but dropping hints, including a significant gaffe that suggests he will soon be all in. TEASEThen, a startling slip by the notoriously gaffe-prone Biden -- perhaps an accident, perhaps a perfectly placed tease as he inches towards a presidential campaign. "In my humble opinion, we have never needed Joe Biden more than we need him right now." But not everyone agreed that Mr Biden ought to remain eloquent and above the fray should he take on President Trump. Mr Biden was ready with lines of attack, assailing Mr Trump for "tearing down the guardrails of our democracy" by weakening hallowed institutions like the independent judiciary.
