Joe Biden is reflective and relaxed this morning -- making some calls, getting updates on the state of play, and preparing for the opportunity to address the nation, a source familiar with his thinking tells @mikememoli and @MariannaNBCNews.

During the primaries I was listed as a Beto supporter but I supported Joe too. It was pretty much a tie for me.

for lack of affection, but other reasons. Then I did think he was the best for this moment.

Seeing the election play out, I’m now not sure any of the other candidates we had would have defeated Trump. Joe is the only one that the scary Socialist label they couldn’t make stick, an even known quantity, etc.

As bad as this election was, we dodged the major bullet. The cannonball.

No one should speak for all of us.

Joe was not your guy maybe.

But many of us favored him from the git-go.

and many here did as well... I always knew Joe Biden was the only one who could pull us up from the abyss...

not that we didn't have a lot of GREAT candidates but Biden is the one for the times... hopefully Buttigieg will have his turn!!

Which is why I supported him early on and voted for him in the primary. I'm proud of my decision. Joe's a good guy who resonated with enough Americans in states we need to win to flip them.

I know and accept not every voter out there is like me, and with our electoral college system, that's a big fucking deal if we're going to win National races.
