Joe’s already got a $15 minimum wage in his platform, and that’s great.

Joe can say the ACA made pandemic testing free but Trump zeroed it out. That can be restored on day 1, unlike Medicare for all, which could take months or years.

He doesn’t have to go too far to the left. He just has to appeal to the majority of Americans, left and right, to defeat Trump handily.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
