ATLANTA (AP) — Climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore lined up behind Joe Biden’s White House bid Wednesday.
He praised the presumptive Democratic nominee’s priorities and declared President Donald Trump’s defeat an absolute imperative. He called the election “the clearest most definitive choice in a national election that the United States of American has ever faced.”
He emphasized that message to any voters who might be lukewarm on Biden's candidacy. Gore said Biden has asked him to help "strengthen” his climate policies.
Biden last year unveiled a plan that would spend $5 trillion over 10 years, with $1.7 trillion coming from the government. But his timelines for reducing carbon emissions fall short of what some climate activists demand.
