Biden visits Delaware protest site, says country must turn 'anguish to purpose'

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday afternoon visited the site of Saturday night's protests in Wilmington, Delaware, wearing a mask to meet with people who demonstrated against police brutality.

On social media, Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, posted that the protests show the United States is a "nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us. The only way to bear this pain is to turn all that anguish to purpose."

Biden promised that as president, he will "help lead this conversation," and "more importantly, I will listen." The protests have been ongoing across the United States since Monday, when George Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for several minutes.
