She is very smart and she doesn’t take any shit from anyone.

I also think Joe Biden admires her greatly. I remember when she spoke at the 2012 convention and it showed Biden looking at her when she was done as she walked away with her prosthetic legs. He looked so moved by her courage. That moment said so much about them both.

I agree, she would be an excellent choice. She only lost the Senate seat in 1 state. now... Unrepentant Fenian Jun 2020 #18

Governor Pritzker will do well replacing her if she goes to the WH. nt Progressive Jones Jun 2020 #23
