Boomers know things.

Biden is the overwhelming choice of Democrats who have voted in the process by more than 900,000 votes. Not because he's old and white, but because we have seen him operate and we feel he, of all of our candidates, will do the best job as president.

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