Joe Biden kicked off his second day of campaign stump speeches with a bunch of folks in Iowa.
The former vice president’s stump speech featured him addressing the crowd as “folks” more than 30 times in a 30 minute speech.
Biden’s stump speech in Cedar Rapids focused on rebuilding the middle class and the moral compass of the country.
“I think the moral obligation of our time is to rebuild the middle class,” Biden said. “And the reason is, if the middle class does well, everybody does well.”

Biden, 76, announced Thursday he is joining a field of over 20 declared Democratic presidential candidates.
In Pittsburgh Monday, Biden slurred and stumbled his way through his first major speech on the campaign trail, struggling to pronounce “dignity,” “successful,” and “hospitals” among other slip-ups.
Biden’s speech in Cedar Rapids, also plagued by slurring, was the first of several stops in Iowa planned for this week.
