How Joe Biden weathers Trump impeachment storm so far

 On Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden became the last of the top-tier Democratic contenders to call for President Donald Trump's impeachment.

"Trump will do anything to get reelected, including violating the most basic forms of democracy," Mr. Biden said at a town hall in New Hampshire.

To many voters, Mr. Biden represents a known quantity, a return to normalcy after the turmoil of the Trump years.

On Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden became the last of the top-tier Democratic contenders to call for President Trump's impeachment.

"There is no appetite among voters for going back to the way things were. How can Biden be [seen as] an agent of change and still bring the country together?".

Mr. Biden has made the past central to his campaign, often calling up his relationship with President Obama and advocating a return to a less partisan era.

"The bubble wants to talk about Trump. But the people want to hear about the quality-of-life issues that Joe Biden is known for."
