Joe Biden dropped his first 2020 campaign video at 6:00 AM this morning, focusing on President Trump’s response to the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, VA.
Joe Biden is officially in the race for President: “ The core values of this nation… our standing in the world… our very democracy…everything that has made America — America –is at stake”

And. . . he’s already lying:
Smart choice for Biden to launch with a lie that is popular with the left– that Trump called Neo-Nazis and white nationalists "very fine people" when he actually condemned them: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally”

Have a watch:
The core values of this nation… our standing in the world… our very democracy…everything that has made America — America –is at stake. That’s why today I’m announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. #Joe2020 https://t.co/jzaQbyTEz3

President Obama, who hasn’t said much about any of the 2020 candidates, did release a statement through his spokesman saying selected Joe Biden as his running mate was “one of the best decisions he’s ever made.” So, not an endorsement but a “clear signal of support”:
