NEW: Joe Biden has secured the 1,991 delegates needed to win the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, according to the AP's tally.
Biden has run from the start on the idea of his campaign as a battle for the"soul of America," and often implied his presidency would be a return to normalcy more than anything else. Responding to unrest and anger in the wake of George Floyd's killing, Biden doubled down on the first theme, but seemed to walk away from the second.
Biden also vowed to focus on the type of large-scale structural change that Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, not Biden, had spent the primary campaign calling for."Let us vow to make this, at last, an era of action to reverse systemic racism, with long overdue and concrete changes," Biden said.Biden's political allies are already viewing the speech as a defining marker of his campaign.
Rendell said the boost in Biden contributions is twofold: It's based on donors' response to Biden's speech, but also what he described as"Trump's abysmal conductBiden's campaign immediately turned the speech into a minute-long digital ad that will be seen in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina and Arizona – all states Trump won in 2016, but where recent polls show Biden leading or roughly even with the president.
