Biden’s plan is the kind of document one would expect from a group of experienced experts, which makes sense since the Delaware Democrat has assembled a capable team to help craft his policy agenda.
But given that Biden is a candidate, and this is an election year, the point wasn’t exactly to tell Americans what the former vice president would do in 2021.
