Biden 5

On Tuesday Senator Joe Biden returned to Des Moines – now as a vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party – and ONE was there!

After the event Senator Biden walked the rope line and shook hands with attendees. While he was talking to someone, he saw my ONE shirt reached out, grabbed my hand, and pulled me in for a big hug exclaiming his happiness to see ONE at the event.

I told the senator about the events ONE did at both parties’ national conventions. He said he saw many ONE supporters in Denver and that his wife wore a ONE sticker. I also thanked the senator for his ongoing support of ONE and gave him a ONE hat, which he was very excited about and carried it through the rest of the line.
