Article snippet: Former Vice President Miami Herald reported. “The state the nation is today will not be sustained by the American people,” Biden told party activists during a speech in Hollywood, Fla. “We are better than this.” Biden's comments come as Democrats work to regroup in the wake of MORE's 2016 loss to Trump in a race that had been thought by many pollsters and pundits to be a shoo-in for the former secretary of state. Since then, Democrats have been locked in a debate over the direction of the party. Biden said on Saturday that Democrats should not choose between progressive values and appealing to working-class voters that sent Trump to the White House. “We can’t get bogged down – and I hope I don’t offend anyone here – in this phony debate in the Democratic Party,” he said, according to the Herald. “There is no need to choose. They are not inconsistent.” Speculation has swirled that Biden could potentially seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. He launched a political action committee last month, further fueling questions of whether he could mount a campaign.
