Momentum @AdamSchiff'ed today: 1) CA's next Senator said #passthetorch 2) We were reminded that JD Vance "would like" a national abortion ban (xitter.cf/GavinNewsom/status/181…) 3) Biden opened a door (health) to bowing out. If Dems pick a new nominee FAST, they can still win this.
“I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” - JD Vance

#MyNameIs Joe Nation, a former state legislator and now university professor. I'm voting for Biden/Harris to end this pandemic, rebuild the economy, attack climate change, and most of all, to restore our democracy. #iwillvote

See when hospitals are overrun. And the power of stay-at-home at covidactnnow.org. FL will need 185,000 beds but has just 44,000. #StayHome

The party of intolerance nominates someone who not only reflects, but promotes those values. And we are surprised? #makedonalddrumphagain
