A consistent theme animated Iowa voters as Biden brought his newly announced presidential campaign to the state — practicality, not passion.
Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event Tuesday in Dubuque, Iowa.
In conversation after conversation, voters made similar comments, talking of worries that the electorate is too sexist to elect a woman, too prejudiced to send another person of color to the White House, too cautious to embrace the sweeping economic plans of the party’s star progressives. The risk for Biden is that support rooted more in calculation than fervor could prove fleeting should he start to project anything other than a clear sense of safe electability.
“Everybody knows who Donald Trump is,” he said toward the end of a stump speech that excoriated the president for his defense of white supremacists, attacks on universal healthcare and tax policies that BIden warned are eviscerating the middle class. “We’ve got to know who we are.”
