FULLERTON, Calif. — Former Vice President Joe Biden hit the heart of Reagan Country on Thursday, riding a wave of Democratic grassroots anger over the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to boost the party’s House candidates, who he said would “go about resetting the moral compass of this country.”

“Our core values, the American story is being assailed,” Biden told a raucous crowd of 500 at California State University Fullerton. “The fabric that has always held us together, in good times and hard times, is being shredded before our eyes.’’

In an impassioned call to arms, and with new polls raising hopes of a “blue tide” to swamp incumbent House Republicans in next month’s midterms, Biden told Democrats that in places across the country like Orange County — a traditional GOP stronghold — their party faced the most important choices in a lifetime.

America is “an idea manifested in a thousand little things: how we treat each other, whether we afford people the dignity … whether we act fairly, whether we speak with dignity, leaving nobody behind,’’ he said.
