Apr 2020

President Obama spoke to all America, with special note of Sanders supporters, in his endorsement.

Of course. In speaking of Biden, he also described himself: "The kind of leadership that’s guided by knowledge and experience; honesty and humility; empathy and grace – that kind of leadership ... belongs in the White House."

And we're off!
