The Joe Biden We've Been Waiting For

Twenty-four hours. Two visions of American leadership that could not be more different.

The first was the sitting president, Donald Trump, glowering in front of a church with a borrowed Bible in one hand, posing for a staged photo op made possible by the tear-gassing, assaulting, and violent removal of protesters, journalists, and clergy.

The second was the challenger, Democrat Joe Biden, speaking live to the country from Philadelphia City Hall. “We’re a nation in pain,” he said. “We must not let our pain destroy us.”

“We’re a nation enraged,” he said. “We can’t let our rage consume us.”

“We’re a nation that’s exhausted,” he said, “but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us.”
