the segments of our democratic coalition, Joe Biden is someone who working people relate with. And that's across ethnic lines, but includes the white working class that Trump needs in industrial states to win.

His support in the black community is profoundly deep and comes out of long relationships where they've come to know the man.

Jewish voters, Catholic voters, Latinx voters all know Joe Biden is someone who will have their backs.

And in terms of matchups, it is like Biden was custom made to defeat Trump. Trump's insult simply do not work on Joe Biden. They just don't. He and Speaker Pelosi are the two people who seem immune to Trump's childish behavior and his bullying tactics.

Biden knows how to deal with bullies. Some people think that because he's held his fire on fellow Democrats when on a debate stage that Joe doesn't know how to deal a knock-out blow to fools like Trump. Nothing could be a more grave mistake.

He's ready. He will win. And his coat-tails will provide huge benefits in low ballot races like Arizona's Senate seat.

I hope he picks Amy as VP. That's looking like the strongest ticket we have, in my estimation.

Biden is the man for this moment.



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