Joe Biden told voters that he would lead the country “to stop fighting and start fixing” if elected president, striking a contrast with the current occupant of the White House and with many of the other Democrats hoping to win their party’s nomination.

After weeks spent explaining why he’s in the race for the Democratic nomination for a third time, the former vice president held a major campaign rally on Saturday to tell voters what he would do as president, and offered the promise of a reunited country.
