Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Biden ties himself closely to Obama on day one
When Joe Biden entered the 2020 race on Thursday, he made no mention of Barack Obama in his launch video. But his former boss loomed large throughout the day.
In an Instagram post announcing his candidacy, Team Biden posted a photo of the former vice president with his arm around Obama.
On Biden’s website, the campaign highlighted how close their relationship was: “A running mate becomes a friend for life.”
Allies also noted that Biden had brought on board his campaign a former Obama hand in Anita Dunn to help steer his communications shop. “The band is back together,” one ally said.
