She was with Al Gore in Florida, telling people it would be a close race, and reminding them that every vote can make a difference.

She spent more money in Wisconsin and Michigan than Barack Obama did in 2012. She had larger ground organizations in those states. And if you want to talk about where rallies were held, she held more rallies in PA than in any other state, in a tie with OH and FL. She also made a few stops in Michigan.

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