Steve it seems so long ago, the nevada caucuses in which senator Bernie Sanders won with 40 of the democratic vote. Many people were beginning to write off joe biden. So much has changed. What about the sanders support in nevada . Is it solid for the Presumptive Democratic nominee, joe biden . Jon interesting question. Sanders won here essentially in a landslide over joe biden.

And well have another announcement next week with the attorney general, the fbi, and others concerning our cities, because the leftwing group of people that are running our cities are not doing the job that theyre supposed to be doing.
