Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Biden Says He Is Not Running for President

HeadlineOct 22, 2015

Vice President Joe Biden is not running for president. Ending months of speculation, Biden said he and his family had been coping with the death of his son and had run out of time to mount a campaign. Standing beside his wife, Jill Biden, and President Obama in the Rose Garden, Biden delivered what many saw as the speech he would have used to launch his campaign.

Vice President Joe Biden: “I believe that President Obama has led this nation from crisis to recovery, and we’re now on the cusp of resurgence. I’m proud to have played a part in that. This party, our nation, will be making a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama legacy.”
