On April 8, 2020, Biden became the presumptive nominee for the Democratic nomination after Bernie Sanders ended his campaign.[8] On August 18, the Democratic National Convention officially nominated him.[9]
On November 7, the news and media outlets announced that Biden won the election and and was elected the 46th president of the United States.[10]
Beginning
changeA political action committee known as Time for Biden was formed in January 2018, seeking Biden's entry into the race.[11]
In March 2019, Biden said that he may run.[12] In mid-March 2019, he told a gathering of supporters that he may need their energy "in a few weeks".[13]
On April 19, 2019, The Atlantic said that Biden planned to officially announce his campaign on April 24, 2019 in an online video, followed by a launch rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or Charlottesville, Virginia.[14] Many big company donors were ready to donate to his campaign.[15] However, later reports said that Biden was still not sure if he would run. On April 25, 2019, Biden officially launched his election campaign.[16][17]
During September 2019, it was revealed that a whistleblower complained about Donald Trump asking the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden in hopes of finding damaging information. This caused a political scandal that eventually led to Trump's first impeachment.
Promises
changeBiden promised when elected he would protect Roe v. Wade decision, create a public option for health insurance, decriminalize recreational cannabis, pass the Equality Act, make community college free, and start a $1.7 trillion climate plan supporting the Green New Deal. He supports regulation instead of a complete ban on fracking.
Running mate
changeBiden said that his running mate would be a woman early on in the primaries.[18] He said that he would announce his running mate around August 17.[19] On August 11, he picked U.S. Senator Kamala Harris from California, as his running mate. She is the first African American and first Indian American to be nominated as vice president by a major political party.[20][21]
