[highplainsdem]

Lots of speculation in the replies here...

NEW: @JoeBiden missed a major Washington, DC area fundraiser in person (don’t tell @RufusGifford) because he said he had to be elesewhere for a “major endorsement to be announced soon.”

Because he’s a gentleman, he did call into the fundraiser.

Editing to add another tweet about this, from a different person getting the info.

1. Wow.. priorities! lol

TY, hpd!

[FloridaBlues]

2. President Obama and Michele???

[elleng]

8. No, they'll wait (imo)

[Demsrule86]

23. Maybe after Bernies commercial with Obama the will endorse and end this...

Maybe it is Warren.

[former9thward]

75. Where I live (Chicago) I have seen commercials from

Biden, Sanders, Warren and Bloomberg, all with Obama speaking and implying his endorsement. All dishonest in my view.

[LanternWaste]

82. You confuse imply and infer. Again.

Simple mistake. But after having been informed of it so many times, I'd thought you'd realize the difference by now.

[frazzled]

3. Queen Elizabeth?

Corn Pop?

Jimmy Carter?

A kardashian?

I can’t wait!

[George II]

6. I think Killer Mike is going to flip.

[NanceGreggs]

29. ...

[NCProgressive]

68. Poor guy .. he will be called Traitor Mike on twitter with rat emojis

[NurseJackie]

71. ...

[fleabiscuit]

52. You left out "fleabiscuit." I'm hurt. nt

[zackymilly]

84. Hope it's not Corn Pop. He's been dead for a while. n/t

[IluvPitties]

4. Hillary and Bill?

[Blue_true]

35. Best for them to stay silent. Them endorsing will be red meat for the Sanders backers.

My guess is Jay Insley, that indeed would be big coming on the heels of Whitmer endorsing. Also, Insley is a big and proven progressive that punches every button Sanders claim ownership of ($15 wage, climate, gun control, fighting income inequality).

[pnwmom]

46. Jimmy Carter? Jimmy and Rosyln are the living saints building houses

for Habitat for Humanity, well into their 90's.

[Blue_true]

65. As a former Democratic President, I doubt that President Carter would weigh into

a party presidential contest to take a side.

[Todd79]

69. Al Gore

[Demsrule86]

5. Sen. Warren or President Obama?

K&R

[getagrip_already]

7. replies said he went to california......

Isn't kamila from cali? Hmmmmm.

[relayerbob]

10. That would make sense

[highplainsdem]

11. I saw a reply ASKING if he flew to California. Didn't see anything stating that or confirming it.

I've been searching Twitter for more info on where he is tonight, haven't been able to find out.

[Control-Z]

13. Yes, Kamala is one of our senators! eom

[comradebillyboy]

56. Voting in California is over. Kamala's endorsement doesn't

matter too much any more.

[emmaverybo]

15. Yes.

[Renew Deal]

18. Yes, but isn't it a week late for that?

The endorsement makes sense, but why not in Michigan or Florida if it's her?

[getagrip_already]

20. It will never be too late....

It will be a national story lasting for days if that is what's going on. It doesn't matter where they make an announcement. It will be earned media buzz.

I'm not saying that's it. Just connecting dots.

[HarlanPepper]

9. "Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel."

[highplainsdem]

12. ?????????????

[HarlanPepper]

16. It's a line from "Wall Street"

Point being, if you haven’t seen the movie, we don’t know who it is and that is exciting.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Lol!

I see what you did there!

[Funtatlaguy]

17. Ellen, Oprah, Michelle, or Dora the Explorer (he needs a Latina).

[LizBeth]

24. Dora the Explorer.... Ok, that did make me laugh at loud.

[Funtatlaguy]

25. She has a nifty nap sack and likes to monkey around. Win, win.

[sheshe2]

19. Warren?

[wiley]

21. Wait for it.

It's huge.

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Ron Jeremy?

[MontanaMama]

42. Okay that made me laugh out loud.

My kid is looking at me... I’m NOT explaining Ron Jeremy to him.

[comradebillyboy]

57. Oh my. Yes I have seen Ron Jeremy in action. And that

would be a big endorsement.

[wiley]

60. Ron Jeremy already endorsed Trump

According to James Woods. Maybe Michael Jordan or Oprah, though. Maybe even both.

[Blue_true]

67. Imagine that, get endorsed by an old, broken down porn star. nt

[OnDoutside]

77. Did he pay him $140,000 for it ? He's got form for that.

[Blue_true]

78. Maybe. If the money was not an illegal bribe for silence, I wouldn't care. nt

[Skid Rogue]

22. I'm hoping for Kamala. XD

[Moderateguy]

27. It would'nt be counted as Huge....

Huge to me is a former POTUS- Carter, Clinton or Obama. And if that happens the race is effectively over.

[Skid Rogue]

28. Well...

We're not going to get a former president. That's not going to happen. How about the ghost of FDR?

[LizBeth]

30. Going to Calif, could be like a Schwarzenegger, Winfrey, who would be big out there.

[Skid Rogue]

31. I guess Winfrey would carry some weight. I'd cheer.

I can't imagine that anyone would give a damn about Arnold.

How about the ghost of Harvey Milk???? XD

[LizBeth]

41. He is a Republican, liked in the party and doesn't like Trump.

[Skid Rogue]

44. Liked by who? nt

[LizBeth]

47. Liked in the Republican Party so for him to be bold enough to support a Democrat, along with

Eastwood, that would be fun.

[Skid Rogue]

49. lmao!!!! Schwarzenegger and Eastwood? You're on DU. This ain't gonna work.

[LizBeth]

59. We were talking about people that would be high brow in endorsing Biden in Calif.

Schwarzenegger making a big deal about an endorsement would be news.

[Blue_true]

36. Winfrey would be massive. nt

[Skid Rogue]

37. How about Kamala?

She would be a great VP choice!

[Blue_true]

38. She would be a good VP.

But unless Biden is going there to stand with her and announce her as his VP choice, the event won't be as major as Winfrey endorsing Joe.

[Skid Rogue]

43. So true... 100% correct. Thanks.

But, it's not going to be a former president and it's not going to be the ghost of Dr. King... or Ellen. Who will it be? There's lots of famous folks in LA. However, Harris sounds reasonable to me. She's being considered for VP.

[hlthe2b]

62. No offense intended, but you are the first Gabbard supporter I've seen...

I respect your loyalty to your candidate (even while I don't quite understand it).

[oasis]

32. It's winning time.

Biden's the one who'll get it done!

DEMOCRAT

[Qutzupalotl]

33. Biden's location is still secret at this time.

One of the replies was asking if he went to California, but that question was never answered. So it’s premature to run with that theory.

Obviously I’m hoping for Warren.

[TlalocW]

39. It's Gritty

Gritty's endorsing him. Heard it here first.



TlalocW

[ucrdem]

40. Keith Ellison?

Somebody in Michigan I bet . . .maybe Conyers?



p.s. Ellison is in Minnesota I see so how about Debbie Dingle? Rashida Tlaib? AOC??

[Drunken Irishman]

53. Conyers died in in October.

[grantcart]

54. Well that would be an impressive endorsement

[ucrdem]

55. Ah.

[StevieM]

48. Maybe Jesse Jackson? (eom)

[MadMike47]

50. Michael Moore?

Gotcha! Just kidding.

[RandySF]

51. Kid Rock?

[nolabear]

58. On a weekend? Actually that might be smart.

The major network weekend news shows could carry it.

[honest.abe]

61. Must be Harris if he's going to CA

I know CA is done but it’s still big and will help with next primaries.

[denem]

63. Jay Inslee

[honest.abe]

64. That would be a big one indeed.

Probably locks down a win for Joe in WA.

[Todd79]

66. Flavor Flav

[Tarheel_Dem]

70. Any news yet? n/t

[highplainsdem]

72. Nope.

[Green Line]

73. No more wondering where Joe is, he's in St. Louis

[highplainsdem]

74. The question is where he was last night, when he missed that fundraiser.

[Green Line]

76. True, I wasn't thinking about last night. So we still have a mystery.

[totodeinhere]

79. I don't think it's President Obama. People in a position to know have said that he would

only endorse prior to the nomination being settled if it looks like that might be the only way to stop Bernie. But now it doesn't look like that will be necessary. So I think he will only offer his endorsement once the nomination is mathematically clinched, or until one of the two remaining candidates drops out, but not before.

[tavernier]

80. If it's Tom Hanks

then it’s over. Everybody loves Mr. Rogers!

[SKKY]

81. Jay Z and Beyonc???

[Kingofalldems]

83. He's announcing that the Kingofalldems is endorsing him 100%.

Seriously I'd say it's either Sen. Warren or a prominent republican.
