Liberal groups' 'anyone-but-Biden' campaign hits former VP as 'out of step'
Former Vice President Joseph R. Bidenentered the presidential race Thursday with a roaring anti-Trump message and a claim to a front-runner position, but he immediately ran into a massive anyone-but-Biden campaign from liberal activists.
He made the long-anticipated announcement of his candidacy in an online video in which he took aim at President Trump and framed the 2020 election as “the battle for the soul of this nation.”
Mr. Biden, 76, enters as one of the favorites in a field of 20 candidates that is historically diverse and includes six women, five people of color and one member of the LGBTQ community.
His focus on racism right out of the gate highlights the pressure on Mr. Biden to build support not only with black voters, who are the backbone of the Democratic electorate, but also with liberal activists intent on showcasing the party’s diversity.
Justice Democrats, the liberal group that helped the give rise to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, warned that Mr. Biden is a relic of the past with a shady record on the issues they care about.
