How nice that hers is an influential endorsement. Must be her appeal and inspiration to younger generations.

To me too because her story exemplifies democracy. Working class background, politics at the dinner table, she and her 3 siblings all first-generation college grads. She was a House page in 2006, and a Biden volunteer when he ran in 2007. In the midterms, she flipped a Republican-held seat 50-45%. And now she's a liberal Democratic member of congress herself, working with her colleagues to create legislation that serves the people.

Go, Abby!


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
