Biden cranks up his 2020 machin [View all]

I would love to see Biden run and win in 2020 https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/05/joe-biden-2020-decision-869529

FULLERTON, Calif. — By the time Joe Biden decided not to run for president in 2016, many Biden loyalists had become convinced that weak fundraising and his lack of infrastructure in early primary states would have doomed him if he ran.

What a difference now.

One month before the 2020 presidential primary begins in earnest, Biden continues to lead in early polls. He is ramping up his schedule of midterm campaign appearances and, perhaps more significantly, meeting with donors.

This week, before appearing at a rally here Thursday for several House candidates, the former vice president raised money for his American Possibilities PAC at two fundraisers in the Los Angeles area.
