Washington | The trappings of Joe Biden’s office were on full display in the days leading up to his re-election announcement: he spent the weekend at the presidential retreat Camp David, had lunch with his vice-president, Kamala Harris, at the White House and held an event in the Rose Garden to honour US teachers.
With the Marine Band playing in the background, he told reporters: “I told you I’m planning on running. You’ll know real soon.”
