MSNBC- Biden Wins Arizona

March 14, 2020

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 Biden’s 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 Bloomberg’s 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 nation’s 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 it’s unclear when the group will begin to spend on Biden’s behalf. The group also boasts 6 million supporters and more than 375,000 grassroots donors, numbers that could help boost attention and support for Biden’s 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, it’s his present, it’s his future.” Asked if Sanders’ record on gun control factored into the group’s decision, Feinblatt said that the group looks at a candidate’s “total record.”
