13. Mahalo for these comments from Rep Richmond, she!

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 again for bringing those quotes from Rep Cedric Richmond(2nd District-LA.. since 2011!) on board, she! What an excellent co-campaign chair for VP Biden!
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
