How long Harris maintains momentum after her recent surge remains to be seen. The same principle applies for the decline which Biden experienced after Thursday. The former vice president is attempting to run damage control, however. On Friday, Biden affirmed his support of civil rights while campaigning in Chicago.
In the vice president’s own words:
“I fought my heart out to ensure that civil rights and voting rights, equal rights are enforced everywhere. [I] never, ever opposed voluntary busing.”
Attacks from Both Sides
Since the inception of Biden’s entry into the 2020 election, he maintains as a target for censure. Both left-leaning progressives and right-wingers have issues with the former vice president. According to the progressives, Biden is too much of a centrist. Unlike others, progressives believe that bold and radical reform is the only path to defeating President Trump in 2020.
Right-wingers, on the other hand, take issues with Biden’s left-wing policies as a whole. The former vice president’s habitual attacks on President Trump have not helped his standing in conservative opinions either. Despite this, the president has stated his belief that he will likely face Biden in the upcoming general election.
