Joe Biden may be inaudible because of the Covid-19 epidemic ravaging the United States, but he is wasting his time. After winning the Democratic presidential nomination race in record time, if you remember the endless primaries of 2016 and 2008, he managed to rally a good chunk of his camp just as quickly.
Bernie Sanders on Monday, Barack Obama on Tuesday, Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday: the ballet of prestigious rallies has been successfully conducted. That of the former president was expected. He had chosen to wait for the verdict at the polls and remain silent, forcing his former right arm to prove that his initial status as a favorite was not usurped. Barack Obama praised the experience and human warmth of the former vice president on Wednesday while setting a course for his campaign.
"The world is different"
" To be there, the Democratic Party must be daring. I cannot be more proud of the incredible progress we have made together during my presidency, but if I were a candidate today I would not run the same campaign or the same program as in 2008 Said the former president, who remains highly popular with Democrats, even if the party’s left wing regrets that it didn’t show itself more daring when it was in power.
" The world is different "Assured Barack Obama. " There are too many unfinished jobs for us to just look back. We have to look to the future "He continued after paying a tribute to independent senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders, the last opponent of Joe Biden who had abandoned a week earlier.
The latter had provided the previous day unambiguous support for the Democratic candidate. "Today, I ask all Americans, all Democrats, independents, and many Republicans to come together in this campaign and defend your candidacy, which I support," the senator assured during a videoconference with his former adversary made necessary by the ongoing Covid-19 epidemic in the United States.
"The most dangerous president in modern history"

It is "Defeating someone who, I believe, and I speak only for myself now, is the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country (Donald Trump) ", he had assured. In 2016, already a nomination contestant, Bernie Sanders did not support the favorite, Hillary Clinton, until just two weeks before the Philadelphia nomination convention in July.
