Injustice, building on the case shes made when she was announced as bidens vp pick just one week ago. When we look at someone like the current occupant of the white house, again, he has not been lifting folks up. Joe and what we are about is about lifting people up, understanding that the strength of a leader is based on not who you beat down, but who you lift up. His empathy, his compassion, his sense of duty to care for others, is why i am so proud to be on this ticket. He knows, and he cares about the fact that we have, as a nation, witnessed 165,000 people who just in the last few months have died in our country. So what real leadership looks like is joe biden.

Good evening, and welcome to politics nation. Tonights lead, american flood. We only have a handful of politics nation shows after this one. That is a handful before election day. And two weeks out, it would be easy to fixate on the president s seemingly insurmountable deficit in polling and start popping champagne or in my case sipping tea. Because in addition to his selfinflicted injuries which would seem to compromise the bulk of his presidency, the pandemic has resurged and the economy appears to be stalling ahead of the holidays. Of course, we mentioned the polls but we know they arent perfect predictors. What does send a tangible message is a vote.
