As a vice president and as president.
I consider him a friend, and I believe in him.
Believe in his character.
Believe in his morals.

He wasnt even the Joe Biden of 2020.

We are not going to win in November with this president.
Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.
Clooney encouraged Democrats like Michigan Gov.Gretchen Whitmerand California Gov.
Would it be messy?
