BOSTON — Joe Biden said on Thursday that it was time to “take back” the country and treat the middle class with respect, as the former vice president warms up for a likely 2020 presidential run.
He laid out a vision for “decent health care,” a “fair wage” and retirement during his 10-minute speech in the rain. The appearance was Biden’s latest trip to fire up pro-union Democrats. Last month, he spoke to a“Workers are not being treated across the board with dignity. They’re not being treated like they matter,” Biden told a crowd of hundreds on Thursday. Several people held “Run Joe Run"” signs and yelled “Mr. President” at Biden when he pulled up to the rally in an S.U.V.
Biden called the middle class a “values set” and railed against Wall Street bankers, CEOs and President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. The former vice president appeared alongside Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a political ally and fellow pro-union Democrat. It’s unclear whether Walsh would endorse Biden over 2020 candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who backed Walsh’s reelection bid in 2017.
