The early months of Joe Biden’s third White House bid were marked with uneven debate performances and winding town halls in Iowa and New Hampshire. Biden did much to dispel that caricature Thursday night during his 24-minute address accepting the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. “It was a beautiful, powerful speech that hit so many notes,” said Karen Finney, a Democratic strategist who worked for nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016.
Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del. WASHINGTON — The early months of Joe Biden’s third White House bid were marked with uneven debate performances and winding town halls in Iowa and New Hampshire.
“For 24 minutes, every American who watched it escaped our current reality and was imagining a world without Donald Trump. And that alone made it a good speech,” said Rick Tyler, a Republican strategist and outspoken critic of the president. Biden has done many interviews with local network affiliates in battleground states since clinching the Democratic nomination, but national interviews and press conferences have been rare.
Joe Trippi, who worked for Biden rivals Gary Hart and Dick Gephardt that cycle, compared him to candidate Barack Obama in 2008.
