Presumed Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Thursday that 10 to 15% of Americans are “not very good people.”

The remarks came when he was taking part in an online forum with black supporters, moderated by the actor Don Cheadle, that discussed racial relations in the aftermath of the death in police custody of George Floyd, an African American in Minneapolis.
