Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
US Soccer Star Megan Rapinoe just endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president
https://www.vox.com/2019/12/13/21020737/megan-rapinoe-elizabeth-warren-endorsementMegan Rapinoe, the star of the US womens national soccer team and World Cup champion, has once again waded into American politics this time to endorse a 2020 Democratic nominee for president.
Im proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren today, for being bold, for being real, for listening to ALL of us, and for being prepared to navigate the unique challenges we face today as a country, Rapinoe tweeted on Friday afternoon. Its a message that could resonate with her 900,000+ Twitter followers and many others who take her stances most prominently when it comes to equal pay for women seriously.
One of those people taking Rapinoes endorsement to heart? Warren, of course. Megan is a champion of justice on and off the field and a role model for women and girls everywhere, the US senator from Massachusetts and leading presidential candidate said in a statement sent to me by her campaign. I am honored to have her endorsement, and look forward to fighting alongside her for big, structural change.
Rapinoes tweet also included video of a phone call between the two women in which the senator thanked the soccer star for her support. You both lead your team on the field, but you also help lead America off the field, Warren said. Rapinoe replied that shed been following Warrens campaign closely and believes that its amazing. Its big, its bold.

"Just" is an incorrect word for something that happened (and was reported) a week ago...
