Wow! Barry McCaffrey tweet about Biden's speech today [View all]





Watching Joe Biden political address today very reassuring. He is AMERICAN values. Knows and respects how our gov operates. Needs a younger but talented Vice President like Sen Kamala Harris or Sen Amy Klobuchar. The solution to our dangerous situation.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
