[cheering] Vice President elect harris hi, guys. We are here with the great mayor of washington, d. C. , muriel bowser, to celebrate the Small Businesses that are here, but also to celebrate Small Businesses all over our country. They are suffering. We want to support our Small Businesses.

Laughs, but she was his best friend and she compensated. It is aaron burr that lets her know that James Madison wishes to meet her. She carved out a space for women, where they could wield a great deal of political power. Here, Dolley Madison would sit at the head of the table and direct the conversation. She got these people to the white house and entertained them, got them together, got them talking. This was very important for dolley to make everybody feel welcome, be they enemies or allies. Dolley popularized the style to american fashion, and that was considered her classic look. People noticed it. The octagon was the perfect setting for james and Dolley Madison as they try and resume government as quickly as possible.

So if biden wins florida, i dont see him winning by eight points. That is just me. As you look back at 2016 it was a very close rate between Hillary Clint
