Joe Biden: Where does the US presidential hopeful stand on key issues?
When he formally announced his entry into the 2020 presidential race, Joe Biden declared that he stood for two things - workers who"built this country", and values that can bridge its divisions.
Mr Biden's approach to tackling coronavirus, the most immediate and obvious challenge facing the country, is to provide free testing for all and hire 100,000 people to set up a national contact-tracing programme. Mr Biden's broader economic policies, dubbed his"Build Back Better" plan, tries to please two constituencies that traditionally support Democrats - young people and blue collar workers.
His 2020 plan calls for the federal government to invest $300bn in US-made materials, services, research and technology.In the wake of the race protests that have gripped the US this year, he said he believes that racism exists in the US and must be dealt with through broad economic and social programmes to support minorities - and a pillar of his"build back" programme is to create business support for minorities through a $30bn investment fund.
