Biden is one of many Democrats who hope to run against President Trump in the general election. However, in order to do this, Biden will have to beat the many other Democrats in the primaries who hope to achieve the same goal. Several political big names are in the race, including Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and others.
Already, Biden has commenced seeking donations for his presidential campaign:
Our country is being put to the test, but I’ve never been more optimistic about America. Together we can do this. Make a Day One donation to join us. https://t.co/xfD5pLtmAf #Joe2020 pic.twitter.com/UbLPMfE8Ui

What Do Americans Think?
News of Biden’s entry into the presidential election is dominating headlines. While many Americans have their own thoughts and outlooks, President Trump sent his own message to Biden via Twitter.
Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty – you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!

Democrats have certainly taken heat for what conservatives view as “sick and demented ideas.” Over the past few months, the left-wing has openly championed ending private healthcare, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), enacting the controversial Green New Deal and more.
