Biden tonight, at fundraiser w/ Kamala Harris, per pooler @mviser: “She’s been a fighter and a principled leader and I know because I’ve seen her up close, and I’ve seen her in the trenches,” he said, and referenced the friendship that she had with his son, Beau.
— Christopher Cadelago (@ccadelago) June 10, 2020
Harris said her husband, @douglasemhoff, enjoyed hanging out w/ Jill Biden, and that they’ve stayed in touch. “There’s a special bond between the spouses,” she said.
Biden confirmed. “In my case, I was smart enough to marry someone smarter than me,” he said.
— Christopher Cadelago (@ccadelago) June 10, 2020
Very different circumstances tonight as Biden easily wins West Virginia, but that’s a state which Sanders won by 16% in ‘16, and where a felon got 40% against Obama in 2012.
Does Biden win WV in November? Almost impossible. But it reflects his different draw vs Clinton & Obama.

Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA.

Not backing down on defunding police:
In 2016 when I ran against a 44yr incumbent, people told me saying #BlackLivesMattters was wrong messaging and I would lose.
Today, not only did I win that race but everyone is falling over themselves to say #BlackLivesMattters.
We speak to our values, not their messaging.
