After weeks of discussion, US President Joe Biden has decided not to run again. The Democrat is thus proving one last time what has always distinguished him – his instinct for people.
When something is really important to him, Joe Biden lets his father speak. Probably every American can recite this sentence from him: “My father always said: Champ, a man is not measured by how many times he falls to the ground, but by how quickly he gets back up.”
For Joe Biden, this sentence is more than just a calendar saying. It marks his origins and his compass of values. It describes a world in which one inevitably uses the adjective “honest” when talking about work and “fair” when it comes to wages.
He describes the life of a man who fell to the ground more often than most people, but who always found the strength to get back up.
