Its more name recognition at this point with Biden; he's not in the race & therefore not campaigning

So Biden would have brought us back to 2017? Many of us believe that we're in 2019...

If writing the Patriot Act are the kinds of qualifications he brings to the table, then no thanks.

Good for Biden. He doesn't want her support. He doesn't want voters thinking far left socialists
