Think back to the first Presidential Democratic debate last year.

Can you think of anyone on that stage who could have gotten more electoral votes than Biden?

I'm not saying anything negative about any of them. I'm just saying that we picked the right person.

And they would have done well in a similar yet different way. And Biden was certainly one of them.

We were fortunate in that regard.
