Hillary Clinton unsurprisingly shows her support for the presidential nominee Joe Biden. As the former presidential hopeful subtly throws shade at the current President, the unity the Democratic party shows to day seems to be the move they need to finally beat Donald Trump.
The former Vice President gets the support of prominent Democrat personalities, even those who ran against him, like former President Barack Obama, California's House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and New York's Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. According to Fox News, the political party's unity this year is the complete opposite of the disunity that happened in 2016, when Hilary Clinton was running for president.
Hence, the former First Lady of the United States found it hard to get endorsements at the time, especially from Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who ran against her. Although her support may not bring Joe Biden lots of votes, it may help him to raise the money he needs to defeat Donald Trump.
With the COVID-19 pandemic and the noise that Donald Trump is continuously doing in his press briefings, whether negative or positive, the former senator is struggling to get news coverage. So, Hilary Clinton's support to Joe Biden gives him the critical boost he needs this time.
The former senator from New York previously accused Donald Trump of not giving a care about the coronavirus outbreak. She even said that he didn't have a plan to fight the pandemic.
In a video conference from their homes, Hillary Clinton announced her support to Joe Biden. She said that Biden has been preparing for his bid to the White House all his life. He then tweeted his gratitude for her endorsement.
Hollywood Life added that Bill Clinton's wife is hoping that the Democratic presidential nominee will beat Donald Trump in the November 2020 presidential election. In her announcement of support to Joe Biden on Twitter, she also made a subtle shade toward her former opponent.
"Wish we had @JoeBiden's leadership in the Oval Office right now," Hillary Clinton tweeted. "Americans deserve a president who will manage the COVID-19 crisis with the compassion, competence, and respect for science we need to save lives and revive the economy."
Later, Joe Biden claimed that Hilary Clinton should have been the "president of the United States right now." These two have known each other for a long while now.
Hilary Clinton used to be Barack Obama's Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, while Joe Biden was Obama's vice president for two terms, from 2008 to 2016. They have been friends since Biden was a Delaware senator, and Hilary was the First Lady of then-President Bill Clinton.
