I'm attending Jewish Democratic Council of America's event, “JDCA Program: Jewish Americans for Kamala Harris” - sign up now to join me! #JewishDemsInAction mobilize.us/jewishdems/event…
Grateful to @POTUS for four amazing years. And all in for @KamalaHarris!
Yeah. He had a cold and took a few minutes to get going. Delivered the facts despite being hit by a lava flow of vile and ludicrous lies. But CNN is "praying" for him. Nice try on behalf of your corporate overlords, guys. @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris -- grateful for you!
