Pete Buttigieg plans to endorse Joe Biden in Democratic primary.....wow 😎

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg plans to endorse Joe Biden in the Democratic presidential nominating contest on Monday, shortly after ending his own bid for the White House, a top Buttigieg adviser told Reuters.

The boost to Biden comes along with an endorsement from outgoing rival Amy Klobuchar, a day before 14 states vote on Super Tuesday, in an apparent bid to consolidate support behind Biden and stop U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock endorses Joe Biden for president. You can do it... Go Joe 😎🎨💙

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president Monday as Biden seeks to consolidate support ahead of the Colorado primary.
Hancock called the election “the most critical decision of this generation” and said in a statement that Biden is “the best qualified to heal the wounds of division that have been sown under Trump



The mayor, a prior backer of former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S Sen. Michael Bennet until each dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, held off through February on endorsing one of the remaining candidates.
“Joe Biden is the president our country needs,” Hancock said. “I know he’ll unite our nation and get to work immediately delivering for working families. … As the mayor of a growing and vibrant city, Donald Trump’s reckless attacks on immigrants, health care and the environment are deeply personal. Joe is a candidate that has both the experience and the ability to get our country back on track

Vicki Kennedy endorses Joe Biden for president.....Go Joe 😎...Wow..

Victoria Reggie Kennedy, widow of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy and president of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute’s board of directors, has endorsed former vice president Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.


Kennedy confirmed her endorsement Monday morning via Twitter. Massachusetts voters go to the polls on Tuesday, along with more than a dozen other states

Arizona Rep. Greg Stanton endorses Joe Biden for president....Go Joe....😎🎨

-- On Sunday, it was announced that Arizona Rep. Greg Stanton of the 9th congressional district is endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States.



In a released statement, the former 2011 mayor of Phoenix said Biden is the "best choice" when it comes to beating President Donald Trump in the election.

"Joe will deliver real, meaningful results for Arizona families by improving and expanding access to health care, creating good jobs, and re-establish America's role as leader on the global stage -- especially when it comes to combating climate change," said Stanton in a press release. "I know that Joe is not only the best candidate to take the White House, but the best choice to make sure that we have majorities who will fight for working families in both the House and Senate."

Buttigieg Dropped Out Before Super Tuesday To Stop Bernie Sanders...Go Joe😎

Pete Buttigieg had no intention of staying in a race that he couldn’t win and allowing Bernie Sanders to build a delegate lead that no one could catch. Buttigieg put the party, and some would say the country, ahead of his ego



Buttigieg understands that the path for Bernie Sanders to win the Democratic nomination rests on moderates splitting their vote so that Sanders can make a claim to the nomination with roughly 30% support.
Mayor Pete wasn’t going to be the candidate who would help Bernie Sanders divide the vote and, in the process, potentially hand Trump a second term

Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) on Sunday endorsed former vice president Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, changing her decision to stay neutral in the race two days before the Virginia primary on Super Tuesday.
Wexton won her Northern Virginia district in 2018, turning the seat blue for the first time in 38 years and helping Democrats win control of the House.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White endorses Joe Biden for president...Go Joe....😎🎨

Secretary of State Jesse White, the longest-serving statewide official in Illinois, has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of the March 17 presidential primary.


White, one of the state’s most prominent African American politicians, said the decision came down to which candidate has the best chance to win in November.

“I’ve been asked by a number of candidates for their support," White said in an interview Saturday afternoon. “I decided I was going to go with Joe Biden, because I believe that he has what it takes to be able to beat Donald Trump and put this country back on a sound footing

Joe Biden Hints That Kamala Harris Could Be His VP...👩🏽

Daryon Jackson, who was formerly Senator Kamala Harris’ political strategist, flagged video on Thursday of former Vice President Joe Biden saying he was looking for a VP who matched his ideals like Kamala Harris or another woman. Jackson then noted that it sounded like Harris was his top pick

“I’ve been begun thinking about that in terms of both women, women of color, Latinos, and men of color. But also, on others who share my philosophic view of what to do,” the Democratic candidate for president said.
Asked if Kamala Harris would fit that bill, Biden said, “I think so.”


“I think so, but again I’ve not spoken to Kamala Harris about that and it’s presumptuous of me to do that. But I think Kamala Harris is someone — but look, there’s a number of women who –”
Biden then refused to name the women, saying he’d get into real trouble to do so. But he said he’s beginning to talk about it with his close associates



Chairman of the Dem Coalition Jon Cooper tweeted, “Raise your hand if you think a @JoeBiden/@KamalaHarris ticket would mop the floor with Trump/Pence,” and within an hour had 1.7 thousand retweets



Oh the look on the orange con's face if it happens...


Go Joe ….😎

Opinion: Militant Moderates and Bernie's Revolutionaries Are Donald Trump's Best Friends 🙄

The only people who were more excited about Bernie Sanders’s win in Nevada than Sanders and his supporters were Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.


Trump wants a second term so that he can stay out of jail and kill American democracy once and for all. Putin wants a weakened America so that his Russia can regain status as an important player in the world’s politics. Both, rightly or wrongly, believe that of all the Democratic candidates, Bernie Sanders is the easiest one for Trump to beat




It’s just as possible that Sanders may opt for a more authoritarian approach – especially if Congress is as resistant to his ideas as it is to Trump’s. It’s this possibility that concerns me. And that concern grew when we learned that Sanders knew about Russian efforts to help his campaign for a month before he said anything

Biden Tells Bernie That Being A Progressive Means Getting Things Done, Not Yelling Policy Ideas...😎

Former vice president Joe Biden tore into Bernie Sanders on Tuesday night, hammering his record on guns, his criticism of Barack Obama, and the fact that he’s gotten very little done in his career in government.


I’m not saying [Sanders is] responsible for the nine deaths, but that man would not have been able to get that weapon with a waiting period of – what I suggest – until you are cleared,” Biden said

Bernie Sanders likes to act as though he has corned the market on progressive policy ideas, but the truth is that very little of his agenda has actually been implemented

Yes, part of being a candidate for president is offering policy prescriptions to the problems facing the country. But it’s also about showing the American people that you can deliver

Joe will get it done.....😎
