Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was joined onstage in Detroit by former presidential rivals Cory Booker and Kamala Harris in show of unity ahead of key Michigan vote
DETROIT - Seeking a decisive win in the Michigan primary, Joe Biden was joined onstage in Detroit on Monday by two former Democratic presidential rivals, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, in the latest sign the party establishment is lining up behind him.
The highly coveted support from Booker and Harris, two black U.S. senators, could give Biden even more currency with African-American voters in Michigan and elsewhere as he seeks his party’s nomination to take on Republican President Donald Trump in November. Booker and Harris, along with Klobuchar, a senator from Minnesota, are considered potential candidates to be Biden’s running mate on the Democratic ticket should he secure the nomination.
The poll conducted from Friday to Monday showed that 47% of registered Democrats and independents said they would vote for Biden if their state’s nominating contests were held today, up 7 points from last week.Biden was apparently attracting supporters of Senator Elizabeth Warren, who bowed out of the race last week but has not endorsed Biden or Sanders.
Sanders criticized Trump for suggesting people could still go to work if they contracted the virus, saying it “might be the stupidest advice ever made by a president of the United States.”
