CEDAR RAPIDS -- A few of Joe Bidens friends, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, are coming to Iowa to vouch for the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful.
The We Know Joe tour, which will kick off Tuesday in Sioux City, will include Biden surrogates who represent the former vice presidents diverse national base of support and tell Iowans why he is uniquely positioned to beat Donald Trump and repair the damage he has done.
As the first Americans to make their voices heard in the Democratic primary, Iowans take their responsibility to help select a nominee seriously, said Jake Braun, Iowa state director of Biden for President. Voters in Iowa and throughout the country know that we must defeat Donald Trump, which is why so many are hungry for a leader like Joe Biden who they know can win next fall.
Iowans want to make sure our nominee can assemble a diverse coalition that represents the Democratic Party and our country and this bus tour showcases Joes unique ability to pull together to coalition that will defeat Donald Trump, Braun said.
Kerry, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2004 and campaigned in Iowa with Biden in December, will headline the We Know Joe tour events in 20 key counties that account for more than 60 percent of the states population and span six media markets.
In addition to Sioux City, the tour will visit Missouri Valley, Council Bluffs, Adel, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Algona, Mason City, Muscatine, Davenport, Clinton, Dubuque and Webster City.
Surrogates for Biden will include Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta; U.S. Rep. Ami Bera of California, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Frontline co-chair; U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, the former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus; U.S. Rep. Lou Correa of California, a Congressional Hispanic Caucus member; and other federal and state elected officials from across the country.
More than 1,000 national, state and local leaders have endorsed Biden, including nearly 200 current and former Iowa elected officials, union leaders, teachers, veterans, community leaders and Democratic Party activists. Iowa endorsers include 1st District U.S. Rep. Abby Finkenauer, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and two-term Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and former Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack.
Biden has 28 offices and more than 145 paid staffers on the ground powering his 99-county, 1,678-precinct strategy to win the Iowa caucuses Feb. 3.

(22,880 posts)and we know how he will react. VP Biden has the capability to learn from mistakes and positions he has held before when given information that shows a different outlook. He does not keep repeating the same mistake over and over again because he is afraid of having to admit he was wrong at some point.
That in and of itself gives people a lot of confidence in his leadership.
This is why he will win.
People are so tired and fearful of the all knowing candidate who thinks they walk on water.

Kerry painstakingly crafted the peaceful resolution w/our allies and Iran, Trump blew it all up.

(68,735 posts)Joe is the only candidate who can win the presidency, safeguard our house majority and have coattails for a Senate majority pickup...those on the left can't win in the states we need. If we nominate Joe...we may well see a Democratic Senator in Georgia again and maybe Georgia is in our column in the EC...the others can't do this.

(2,461 posts)I'm surprised - not - that we have heard nothing about his worldwarzero campaign that he was pushing just one day before endorsing Biden. Must be so embarrassing.
