Don't know if this one has been posted- Norm Mineta Endorses Joe Biden
I believe the majority of Democrats are supporting former Vice President Biden for the same reason I am his experience, his judgment, his intelligence and his basic decency foremost among them. Most of all, we admire Joe Bidens sense of empathy. With Joe Biden as president no one, not one of us, will have to feel abandoned, alienated or unrepresented. He is what he appears to be warm, generous, caring and inclusive.
Expect Trump, and perhaps some radical Democrats, to say the Democratic establishment somehow arranged for Biden to be selected not elected. The record Democratic turnouts show that to be a lie.

The National Wildlife Federation endorses Joe Biden
Joe Biden just notched his first endorsement from an environmental group, in a sign he is consolidating support from the Democratic base in the 2020 presidential race.
The political arm of the National Wildlife Federation said Thursday it is backing Biden two days after the former vice president posted big wins in the Democratic primaries in Michigan and at least three other states

Press Conference
Bill Bradley is announcing that he wants to debate Al Gore because of his massive following among 30% of the democrats that supported him gives him a mandate.
I was giving Bernie the benefit of the doubt, but this is going farther than he did vs. Hillary.

Meeks to Endorse Biden
WASHINGTON Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, who was previously one of Michael Bloombergs prominent supporters on Capitol Hill, will now endorse and back Joe Biden.
The move is not entirely shocking, given that Bloomberg endorsed Biden as he dropped out of the presidential race. Meeks joins dozens of Congress members backing Biden. Biden has strong support on Capitol Hill especially among members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Everytown For Gun Safety Endorses Joe Biden
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Joe Biden has received the endorsement of one of the nations largest gun control advocacy groups, Everytown for Gun Safety, in the latest sign that Bernie Sanders spotty record on guns may be weighing him down in the presidential primary.
Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund plans to spend $60 million on electoral activities this cycle, some of which will go toward trying to elect Biden. An Everytown spokesman said the group typically airs advertisements and engages in grassroots organizing for the candidates it endorses, though its unclear when the group will begin to spend on Bidens behalf. The group also boasts 6 million supporters and more than 375,000 grassroots donors, numbers that could help boost attention and support for Bidens presidential bid nationwide.
In an interview with The Associated Press, John Feinblatt, head of Everytown for Gun Safety, said the group chose Biden because working for gun control is his past, its his present, its his future. Asked if Sanders record on gun control factored into the groups decision, Feinblatt said that the group looks at a candidates total record.
