Republican leaders opposed Barack Obama’s plan and vowed to defeat it. Every single Republican in the House voted no. The plan came to the Senate, where the White House needed three Republicans to vote yes — or else it would die, delivering a body blow to the economy and to Obama’s new presidency.

Joe Biden was the person who got those three “yes” votes and got the bill passed. As a result, America reversed its downward spiral and made huge investments in clean energy, new roads, electric cars, tax relief for working class families, and help for those in need with expanded food stamps. The president put Biden in charge of what was the largest domestic program since the New Deal; he hit every target for getting the aid out quickly and without waste.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
