1:25Now PlayingFormer President Joe Biden says the state of the nation is in his words, going through "dark days." Biden made the comments while accepting a lifetime achievement award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute on Sunday in Boston. He described the current moment as the worst he has seen in his many decades of elected public life, adding that our very democracy is at stake.
But striking a note of optimism, Biden said he believes the U.S. will emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient so long as we keep the faith.
Biden has maintained a low profile since leaving office in January, followed by his cancer diagnosis in May.
