Known as “the Little White House,” it was FDR’s frequent retreat of during the Great Depression and the perfect backdrop for a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020.
“This place, Warm Springs, is a reminder that, though broken, each of us can be healed,” Biden told socially distanced supporters spread out on the lawn. “That as a people and a country, we can overcome a devastating virus. That we can heal a suffering world. And yes, we can restore our soul and save our country.”
