Don't underestimate Joe Biden. He knows what America needs and how to get it done.

For policy wonks like me, the 2020 Democratic presidential campaign offers a smorgasbord of interesting ideas. But as a four-time White House appointee, I know it will take more than a pile of plans to achieve progress: We need a leader who can make those plans a reality — and a president who can heal the gaping wounds Donald Trump has left in our country. For me, that candidate is my former boss, Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is the complete opposite of Donald Trump. Decent. Loyal. Compassionate. The stories of him consoling those who have lost friends or family members; reaching out to children who suffer from stuttering (as he did as a boy); taking extra time at the White House to show kindness to someone feeling down, are too numerous to count.

Even critics acknowledge these qualities in Biden but say this is an old-fashioned kind of politics: out of sync with the era of social media and Twitter snark. I disagree. As I see it, there has never been a time when the sort of decency that oozes out of Joe Biden is more needed. It’s the salve that can start to reverse the savagery of the Trump era....

But what I know about Joe Biden is this: After suffering searing tragedies — the death of a young daughter and his wife in a car crash in 1972, his own near death from two aneurysms in 1988, the tragic loss of his oldest son in 2015 — he remains the most optimistic person I have ever met. Even in these dark times, in what he calls the “battle for the soul of America,” he is willing to take the heat to try to win that fight, because he believes our country’s best days are ahead, not behind. I’m proud to be on his side.
