On Monday, Biden gestured toward Booker and Harris who had just spoken about supporting Biden’s message of unity and “ restoring the soul of the nation ,” saying that he saw his candidacy as a first step toward ushering in a next era of leaders in the Democratic Party.

“ I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else ,” Biden said just after linking hands with Booker, Harris and Whitmer. “ There’s an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. They are the future of this country .”
