Democratic presidential nominee
Joe Biden is promising to “restore dignity for everyone, especially the poor” if he defeats President
Donald Trump in November.
Biden made his pledge Monday to an online convocation of the Poor People’s Campaign, one of the nation’s leading civil rights and social justice organizations.
Biden highlighted several of his economic proposals: raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, expanding health insurance access, investing billions of dollars in childcare, early childhood education and college tuition assistance.
