Reading Time: 3 minutes ABC News has confirmed that Joe Biden will announce he’s entering the 2020 race Thursday morning in a video. This will be the beginning of Biden’s third run for the presidency and he enters the crowded Democratic field in the top spot in several polls despite the recent #metoo related PR issues that have plagued his soon to be campaign for weeks.
Biden brings a long career in public service to his presidential bid, which began in 1972 when he was elected to the Senate in Delaware. Biden served in the Senate for nearly 40 years, where he served as chair of the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees, before becoming vice president in 2009. All of this makes him one of the most experienced candidates ever to run for the office of President. However, that kind of history in the public eye brings with it years of things to criticize.
