Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, has run for the office of President of the United States twice before, both unsuccessfully.
Biden announced today that he is in once again for the long haul hoping to win over the Democrats hearts and votes at the Primaries.
According to Gallup Polls [Note 1], the general public have a more favorable view and opinion of Biden (56%) than towards Trump (32%). MSNBC YouTube – 3:31 mins.
