7. Fifty State plan!

I’ve been recruiting the vice president to run almost immediately since [Hillary] Clinton lost.

One, because I thought his body of work was that of a person I’d want to see as president. Two, because I thought he was the best person to take on President Trump and beat him. And then three, from Day 1, restore our credibility around the world, and start to unify a very divided — a very, very divided — country.

Do you expect the vice president to offer more specifics on issues like climate?

Absolutely. It’s amazing to me to watch everyone now say that they are, quote-unquote “progressive” and “this is the litmus test for progressives,” but everything they’re talking about the vice president, they are issues he’s already been on.

Thank you. Cha. Cedric!!!!

23. Notes: Cedric Richmond is a Joe Biden fan, and the feeling is mutual

It turns out the regard is mutual. The Biden campaign has now named Richmond, a New Orleans Democrat, assistant to the majority whip and former head of the Congressional Black Caucus, as its first national co-chair.

The new role with send Richmond out onto the campaign trail, including to South Carolina, an important early primary state with a large African-American electorate, and one that’s represented by Richmond’s mentor in Congress, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.
