money runs occupant? well, that s the big question with biden. he shouldn t have a problem with fundraising necessarily, and democratic strategists i ve talked to over the past couple of years who have really kept an eye on biden s early moves have said that he doesn t necessarily have the donor problem that other potential 2020 candidates have in the sense that he doesn t necessarily need to pull from that small donor base that a lot of the other senators and governors are going to have to pull from. that being said, you know, he has to still get in as soon as possible if he wants to get good strategists on his side, if he wants to make his case not as vice president, but as a presidential nominee to voters. arthel: and let s get back to beto. some might say he s green in the area of campaigning at in this hue-stalks level high-stakes level, joking that his wife has been raising their three children, and he says sometimes with my help. and he apologized last night.
