Former Vice President Joe Biden may not have scored a “Perfect 10” for his performance on the pre-presidential American stage last night, but he didn’t completely miss the mark either. In fact, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms just submitted her endorsement for Biden mere hours after the debate.
Bottoms attended the debate at the invitation of Biden’s wife Jill.
“For me, it was most important that we have a president who doesn’t have to walk in the door and figure out where the light switch is, that we have somebody who can lead on Day One,” said Bottoms.
Here were some of Biden’s best quotes from the evening:
“I’m against any Democrat who wants to take down Obamacare,” Biden said, taking an implicit shot at Sanders, would replace Obamacare with a single-payer plan.
“You cannot let people who are sick — no matter where they came from, no matter their status — go uncovered…it’s not humane,” Biden said.
Turning the focus on American success and the economy, Biden offered, “Donald Trump thinks Wall Street built America. Ordinary middle-class Americans built America.”
