As Joe Biden prepares to take the DemDebate stage in Miami, he finds himself in a unique position: marked man.
USA TODAYJoe Biden, a two-term vice president with 36 years in the Senate and two previous unsuccessful runs for president, has spent plenty of time debating in his long political career.
Biden’s son Hunter worked as a consultant for the Delaware-based MBNA, a financial services company bought by Bank of America in 2006. Biden campaigns raised more than $200,000 in contributions from MBNA executives and employees from 1998 to 2010, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. "If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent" on others trying to limit abortion access in some states, Biden said.
Biden, who has played up his friendship with Obama, has done well with African American voters in early polls. In South Carolina, he has the support of 52% of black Democrats, beating the closest candidate, Warren, by 38 percentage points, according to the Post and Courier-Change Research Poll of likely voters.
