“Joe Biden took his granddaughter to the flicks in Georgetown final night time…..on his method out he stopped to talk w/ a homeless man,” Mr Equale wrote. “A bystander took this candid shot. Character is about what you do when nobody is watching.”

On the time, Mr Biden was weighing a 3rd bid for the presidency after serving two phrases as Barack Obama’s vp. Mr Biden in the end launched his marketing campaign in late April, greater than a month later, saying that he determined to make his bid partially out of a “sense of responsibility” to the nation.
Mr Biden was thought of a powerful contender for the nomination, however his marketing campaign sputtered for a lot of the remainder of 2019 — with questions on Mr Biden’s viability mounting as different candidates like Sen Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Sen Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg all surged.
Each Mr Sanders and Mr Buttigieg claimed victory within the Iowa caucus that started the nominating contests in 2020, after which consecutive victories in New Hampshire and Nevada made Mr Sanders the favorite to safe the nomination. However after a large victory in South Carolina, moderates within the Democratic Social gathering rallied round Mr Biden to cease Mr Sanders forward of Tremendous Tuesday. Mr Biden wrapped up the nomination shortly thereafter.
Mr Biden, 79, is now having fun with probably the most profitable interval of his presidency. Congress handed Mr Biden’s signature spending and local weather invoice earlier this summer time, after which Mr Biden introduced a much-anticipated plan to cancel a portion of People’ scholar debt.
Mr Biden’s ballot numbers have begun to climb, as have Democratic hopes about sustaining management of a minimum of one chamber of Congress throughout the November midterms.
