Biden announced the third presidential bid of his career by video on YouTube and other social media
. He is expected to make his first public appearance as a candidate on Monday at an event in Pittsburgh featuring union members, a key constituency.
As speculation about his bid mounted, Biden faced new questions about his long-time propensity for touching and kissing strangers at political events, with several women coming forward to say he had made them feel uncomfortable. Even so, Biden was determined to push forward, arguing his background, experience and resume best positioned him to take on Trump next year.
Biden has been one of the party’s more aggressive Trump critics. Last year, he said he would “beat the hell” out of Trump if the two were in high school because of the way the president has talked about women. That prompted Trump to call him “Crazy Joe Biden” and claim on Twitter that Biden would “go down fast and hard, crying all the way” if they fought.Story continues below advertisement
