Biden Breaks Down in Tears at Fundraiser Over ‘Ugly’ 2020 Fight With Trump
Joe Biden cried at a Delaware campaign fundraiser and said he is preparing for an “ugly” fight against President Trump in a general election.
“This is going to be really difficult,” Biden said Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, according to a pool report. “But we’re strong. The whole family is strong. I don’t take well to bullies.”
The former vice president and his son Hunter Biden, 49, are a key element of the impeachment proceedings against Trump due to Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma while Joe Biden spearheaded U.S. policy toward Ukraine. Trump asked the Ukrainian president to investigate the arrangement, prompting House Democrats to pursue impeachment on the basis of abusing power to influence a foreign government to harm a political rival. . .
About a minute into his speech, Biden cried and dabbed his eye, explaining that he was “little emotional” being back in the state that he represented in the Senate for 36 years and among those who stood by him when there was a “target” on him early in his campaign.
“The way the African American community has stuck by me in this state is absolutely amazing,” Biden said, referencing scrutiny over his work with segregationist senators in the 1970s. California Sen.
