on an ideological spectrum, it is really just about his upbringing, the people that he grew up in scranton. he talks about, even a couple weeks ago, i probably would've run for reelection if donald trump was not in the race. he is running because down trump is still in the race. and his team spill expects trump to be his opponent next year, and he does think, just as he said for years, ago that the character of this country is at stake and it is what motivated him to stay in the race at this point. >> in your last thoughts? >> joe biden, in addition to the policy achievements, those are important. but, he has restored honesty and dignity to the office of the president of the united states. in a time when we have a crisis in trust in institutions that matters. >> stewart, michael is making me think of something. if it was not trump running again or the current front runner, what do you think that president biden would run again? >> well, the record of people not running for reelection once their president is not great. particularly one that has done a good job. if you do not run, people thi

[ laughter ] "he just phoned home and told him it was rad." but, yes, biden did announce his re-election bid in a video message as opposed to a live address. which was a good call. that way if he wandered off at the end, they could just edit that part out. [ laughter ] look, we're never going to stop using that video you know why, because republicans give us new content nonstop, but for biden, that's pretty much it [ light laughter ] well, that and the stair thing [ laughter ] as we mentioned, biden released that video on the four-year anniversary of his first campaign launch, which is crazy to me. i can't believe it's been four years since biden first announced he was running for president. since then, we've had a pandemic, an economic meltdown, a coup attempt it doesn't feel like four years. it feels like 40 years i mean, when was trump's first announcement 191
