Did Joe Biden’s potential running mates shrink into two contenders?

The Democrat vapestakes may be the two best contenders.

Of all the guys on Joe Biden’s short list, California Sen. Kamala Harris and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren – Only two people spoke at the Texas Democratic state convention Saturday.

“About 10% of Bernie’s people voted for Trump in 2016, and most of them didn’t vote,” Bannon said. Anything near that level of deficiency in 2020 could spell the democratic disaster in November.

“If you’re wondering, I’m in my backyard in our manufactured studio here. It’s hot as a devil,” Biden greeted party members, trying to recreate his trademark campaign-tracking character in a virtual. System.

He rejected President Trump’s immigration policies in a four-minute speech and promised to fight the “systematic racism” of the Biden administration in the aftermath of the brutal and brutal killing of George Floyd.

“As I said, the soul of this nation is in danger,” Biden said. “That’s why I’m running for president.”
