At his kickoff campaign rally Saturday, former Vice President Joe Biden will say he wants the the Democratic Party to run on uniting the country.
"Some say Democrats don't want to hear about unity. That they are angry — and the angrier you are, the better. That's what they are saying to have to do to win the Democratic nomination. Well, I don't believe it. I believe Democrats want to unify this nation. That's what we've always been about. Unity," according to the prepared text of his remarks.
"If the American people want a president to add to our division, to lead with a clenched fist, closed hand and a hard heart, to demonize the opponents and spew hatred — they don't need me. They already have a president who does just that. I am running to offer our country — Democrats, Republicans, and independents — a different path," his speech states.
Biden is currently the front-runner of the more than 20 candidates running for the Democratic nomination. Biden has a double-digit lead in most polls over the rest of the crowded field by an average of 22 points.
