Make it viral: 1st female Olympic boxing gold medalist Claressa Shields on Biden & Obama
by Eclectablog
Enjoy.
It's pretty cool knowing when you represent your country, you've got a president and a vice president who represent you. Weve had tough times in Michigan, but we never give up. We just get up and keep going. We keep fighting with the president and vice president whove got our backs.
