Former US Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday he was running for president in the 2020 election.

Biden said: "The core values ​​of this nation .. Put us in the world .. Our democracy is strong ... Everything is good America - America is at stake .. That is why today I declared my candidacy for the presidency of the United States. " And posted a video in which the Veteran Democrat announced his candidacy for US voters.

Biden´s letter slammed President Trump´s position on white supremacy, citing his controversial response to the "uniting of the right" and counter-protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, when Trump said there were "very good people on both sides."

"We are in a battle for the soul of this nation," Biden says, referring to Trump´s presidency as "hateful."

Biden´s 75-year political career is marked by the fact that he spent more than 30 years as a senator from Delaware and his foreign relations leadership when he was formerly vice-president Barack Obama.
