"Biden reached out to Republicans, praising former President Dwight Eisenhower. And he ended with a list of elementary promises. 'I won't traffic in fear and division,' he said. 'I won't fan the flames of hate. I will seek to heal the racial wounds … not use them for political gain. I'll do my job and take responsibility. I won't blame others. I'll never forget that the job isn't about me.' In any other era, such promises would be absurdly trite. After three years of Trump, they're just what we need."
At Slate, William Saletan writes that Joe Biden's "Speech About the Protests Is a Vision of Post-Trump America."
