The last 2 weeks since leaving the White House have been a blur. But I want to take a moment to recognize the kindness of
@POTUS
&
@FLOTUS
for taking the time to see my family & me off, even with everything happening in the world. This isn’t out of the ordinary for the Bidens.1/5
This is explosive. According to this story, there are Justices praying inside the Supreme Court with litigants who have cases before the court and that the justices later cite to in their rulings. This is on top of news that the wife of a justice was working to advance a coup.
.
@AOC
was asked about Trump’s request to not investigate the administration. She said that under any administration, if you had over 3K die as they did in
#PuertoRico
, where children died on the border, where there are mass human rights violations, there would be investigations.
I can confirm that
@JoeBiden
will immediately stop what he is doing to help a grieving family. In 2014 I was on a flight with him when I learned that my abuelita had passed. He came to the back of the plane & asked me to come up. He then asked for my Mom’s number & called her.
A little over four years, ago Latino Victory endorsed
@JoeBiden
in a heated primary, the first Latino org to do so. As the founding president of
@latinovictoryus
, I'm proud we are endorsing the Biden-Harris ticket for
#4MoreYears
. See you all in Atlanta tonight!
Remarkable shot of
@POTUS
watching the fireworks from the steps outside the White House. Commander in Chief and a good, humble, caring man who happens to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

@ABlackPolitical
It’s clear that African American voters carried
@JoeBiden
to victory in South Carolina. But guess what? He won the Latino vote too, by a wide margin.
Don’t count us out.
Let’s do it again on Super Tuesday!
#TodosConBiden
Analysis from
@UCLAlatino
on 14 high-density Latino precincts in South Carolina (not as high density as Iowa or Nevada). Overall, Biden dominated the entire state, but was slightly lower here than statewide (44% vs. 49%) and Bernie was better, but a distant second (25% vs. 20%)
Working for President-Elect
@JoeBiden
on the campaign was the honor of a lifetime. I’m humbled by this appointment. My immigrant father couldn’t make it to Election Day, but I know he is watching and proud of our country and his son.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the son of Cuban refugees, has been nominated by President-Elect Biden to serve as Secretary of DHS. He will be the first Latino and immigrant to serve in that position. He is brilliant, thoughtful and kind.
Its a new day.
THREAD on today’s NYT poll and resulting bedwetting:
First, a reminder: Biden has been written off time and again. But that’s when he’s at his best. There’s an old Mexican saying- “they tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.” That’s the story of Biden.
New Latino poll shows Biden with a 41-point lead, 66 to 25 which is right on track for Obama/Biden in 2012, the high-water mark for the Latino vote. The poll also show Texas in play thanks to massive growth among young Latinos.
Alarming developments at
@Univision
.
“…Univision advertising representatives told the Biden campaign that spots already purchased to run during the Trump interview in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Florida had been canceled…”
Please remind me: why were some folks trying to block
@TeamPelosi
from becoming Speaker of the House? She proved why she’s the boss, aka “jefa”.
Thank you.
Last November I was on a cross-country flight with the VP to campaign in CA. I learned during the flight that my Dad died. Seconds later Joe Biden ran up to the front of the plane & said let’s turn it around. This was in the middle of a heated primary with 22 candidates.
With a racist for president, people think they can just pull off their hoods and attack people. They no longer hide their hate. But thanks to defenders like
@ShaunKing
, we can hold them accountable. In November we'll hold Trump's enablers accountable too.
.
@LatinoMagazine
makes its first ever endorsement: Joe Biden.
The photo they used is a reminder of what’s at stake. Biden is about to enter a rally & just learned of the El Paso massacre. He’s calling Rep. Escobar to express sorrow & ask how he can help.
Two weeks ago I brought my girls to the Oval Office to thank
@POTUS
& say goodbye. He noticed my 4-year-old
#BabyBoss
was scared about being there with so many people & asked if she wanted to stand on his desk. She loved it. It warmed our hearts. It reminded me of that flight.
.
@JoeBiden
at tonight’s
@msnbc
town hall with
@staceyabrams
and
@Lawrence
:
“On day 1 I will send a bill for a path to citizenship... We are a nation of immigrants and that’s what makes us so strong and resilient. And we will have an immigration system consistent with our values.
I texted
@ashwilliams46
the news. Seconds later, she &
@TomasiniAnnie
came running down the aisle followed by Joe Biden. He grabbed me & said, “I’m so sorry. Let’s turn the plane around right now”.
He was willing to put everything on hold, for my family. A heart of gold. 3/5
News:
@JoeBiden
is supporting
@ElizMarkowitz
in a critical special election in Texas. We have to win up and down the ballot, and can flip the Texas House. Please join VP Biden and
@BetoORourke
in supporting this great candidate and help turn Texas blue.
Instead of fretting over the same polls that have gotten it wrong time and again, Biden’s campaign is putting in the work to activate a diverse, winning coalition to win next November. Let’s do our part! 💪🏼
Proud to wear my Biden-Harris gear today en route home to see my babies!
Despite direct threats on her life,
@HillaryClinton
joined us tonight to make a final push in support of Latinos and
@latinovictoryus
in this critical midterm election. She’s stood with us, and continues to fight our community and inspire us. Thank you Secretary Clinton.
Regarding Latino voters,
@JoeBiden
is gaining with Latinos each and every day.
He won Latinos in South Carolina and tied Bernie in Virginia and North Carolina. Biden won older Latino voters in TX.
Watch what happens on Tuesday.
Mi gente in AZ, FL, IL & OH, let’s win this.
.
@JoeBiden
got a 15 point increase with Latino voters following the announcement that
@KamalaHarris
would join the ticket. This is not a statistical anomaly but rather a significant boost.
Together we win in November.

#BidenHarris2020
Landing in my hometown of
#ElPaso

@BetoORourke
,
@RepEscobar
& thousands of others tomorrow to celebrate our city. We won’t let Trump trash our home. We are a city of immigrants. We are safe now & we were safe before. The greatest threat to our national security is Trump.
Tonight, with record turnout, Floridians gave
@JoeBiden
a major win in the biggest battleground state.
Florida Hispanics will play a decisive role, as they did tonight, in making sure that Trump is a one-term President.
I’m supporting
@JoeBiden
because I want my daughter to live in a country that offers her the same opportunities, dreams, safety and security that brought my parents to this great nation.

New: Biden leads Trump 62-26 among Latinos. Pundits are tripping over themselves to point out that Clinton was at 63%.
Importantly: our lead is 71-16 with Latinos 18-39.
Yes, we have work to do & need your help! It’s time to execute. Text TODOS to 30330.
My favorite Mexican proverb is “they tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.” That’s the story of this campaign. When
@JoeBiden
is up against the ropes is when he does best. Whether fighting the NRA, climate change or to protect women through VAWA.
@JoyAnnReid
I’ll never forget - during one of the most challenging moments of the Presidential primary in November 2019 - when we were flying from Delaware on a make-or-break campaign swing to California when I got word that my Dad had died. 2/5
I’ve been around a lot of electeds and leaders, from the US and beyond.
@Ocasio2018
is among the most brilliant I have ever met. When people attack her like this they are either threatened by who she is and what she represents, or they’re trying to cover their own sad defencies.
It’s lazy to assert that young women are “intellectual lightweights.” It’s an easy stereotype.
Let ‘em do it: I was underestimated before my primary, and I’m underestimated after.
For all those who don’t fit the mold: stay focused, do the work, and as Gillum says,
#BringItHome
.
Yes, this is my

NEWS: Huge fundraising numbers announced by
@JoeBiden
’s campaign: over $71M raised with a historic $91M cash on hand. This cash-on-hand number is the most ever for a Democratic candidate at this point in the race & is widely expected to be more than the entire GOP field combined.
Wonder what the moments are like just before history is made? My
#TeamBiden
hermanos y hermanas have been under attack, working tirelessly with far fewer resources, but because of our candidate & the team’s GANAS, and friends like
@BetoORourke
, we never gave up & just won TEXAS!
I can't tell you how excited I was to spend my first Father's Day with my perfect baby daughter this Sunday. But the thought of other parents having their child ripped from their arms as part of this administration's inhumane policy breaks my heart like nothing has before.
Major endorsement:
@CASAinAction

@JoeBiden

It is my great honor to introduce my daughter to the world!

Keeping families together and fighting this racist administration isn't a vanity project. It's what we do. Every. Single. Day.

Billionaire Tom Steyer wasted no time in converting the sound of crying, immigrant children into the latest ad for his vanity project/impeachment campaign.

@SenSanders
just endorsed
@JoeBiden
on livestream. When Sen. Sanders turns to student debt, a critical issue that he championed, Biden calls for student debt forgiveness, and making college free for middle class families at public institutions.
In America there can be no second class citizens. Today,
@JoeBiden
released a bold, comprehensive, ambitious plan to rebuild Puerto Rico and ensure prosperity and equality.
Read the plan here:
Lies.
I was standing 10 feet away. There was no teleprompter. It was a monitor where viewers asked questions, including whether
@JoeBiden
would reinstate
#DACA
. (Yes. Biden strongly supports Dreamers). Also discussed: Trump’s colossal failures dealing with
#COVID19
.
Senator
@KamalaHarris
will drive up enthusiasm in the Latino community. She’s been a fighter for us, and will be champion for the Latino community as Vice President.
“
@JoeBiden
has received the presidential endorsement of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, signaling his growing strength among a constituency that has long been key to rival Bernie Sanders’ success.”
Thank you,
@RepCardenas
and
@BOLDDems
!
In Las Vegas,
@JoeBiden
speaking directly to the Latino community: you have the power to decide this election.
He also promised this 10 year old mariachi that if he wins the election he’s coming to DC to “help lasso some folks”.
Let’s do this.
#TodosConBiden
No doubt about it. “The stability of Biden's cabinet and sub-cabinet is a marked departure from his predecessor.”
The President’s
@Cabinet
is the most stable in modern history. And it’s a big reason why he’s accomplished so much as President.
.
@JoeBiden
has stretched his lead to 17 points in Texas, thanks to strong support among black and brown voters. He has the support of 50 percent of black voters and leads with Latinos at 33 percent.
The pearl clutching by D.C. journalists about
@michelleisawolf
at
#WHCADinner
is becoming as embarrassing as the faux-press conferences the WH puts on.
El Paso, my beautiful hometown, is ranked as the safest city. It’s a city of immigrants, like my parents. It’s a city of hardworking, optimistic people. We are a proud border city. Over 80% Latino.
Now, why would someone drive 10 hours all the way from Dallas to kill El Pasoans?
What an honor it is to have
@Vegalteno
taking the helm of
@latinovictoryus
as our new board chair. Congrats
@lecumberry
on a successful tenure. We are ready to elect a record number of progressives in 2018 on the road to defeating
@realDonaldTrump
in 2020.
Major endorsement on the eve of Election Day in Florida:
The first
#Dominican

@RepEspaillat
, is backing
@JoeBiden
.
Rep. Espaillat has been a fearless champion for Hispanics in New York, Florida and beyond. Welcome to
#TeamJoe
!
Over a year ago I started on this journey to help elect our next president. I couldn’t have imagined the twists & turns. Seeing
@JoeBiden
up close-caring, brilliant, thoughtful- gives me great hope for our future. Ready for the next 208 days until we defeat Trump and elect Biden.
Welcome to
#TeamJoe
@ananavarro
! It’s going to take all of us, together, to defeat Trump and unite our country. That means super liberal Mexicanos from El Chuco hooking up with Republican Nicaraguans from Miami for zoom rallies. Lets win!
#TodosConBiden
Great new poll has
@JoeBiden
leading Sanders among Latinos in Nevada.
The Mason-Dixon / Telemundo survey found Biden with 34 percent and Sanders at 31 percent.
Biden does much better in diverse states on his strength with Latino, Black & AAPI voters.
Today
@JoeBiden
received the endorsement of civil rights icon
@DoloresHuerta
. She said she “trusts Biden to prioritize the challenges confronting Latinos.”
As the son of a migrant farm worker that grew up idolizing Dolores Huerta, I couldn’t be more proud.
New analysis from
@al_morales
@LatinoDecisions
-- North Carolina is close and Latino voter turnout was really large during Early Vote with 128,000 early and forecast to hit 250,000 -- which could provide Biden a margin of 100,000 votes when all is said and done
.
@realDonaldTrump
just used my hometown of El Paso as an example of how a wall works. Wrong.
1. El Paso was never one of the most dangerous cities
2. There was no overnight drop in crime
3. Violent crime rose & fell just like everywhere else
#SOTU19
There are very few pick-up opportunities for Dems in the senate this cycle.
I’m hearing that
@DebbieforFL
may be gearing up take on Sen. Rick Scott in Florida. She would expand our map, putting Republicans on defense, and she can beat Rick Scott (according to recent polling).
When
@JulianCastro
announced he was running for President, I made sure my baby daughter watched the history-making. I wanted her to see that Latinos could be President and help shape the future of our country. Gracias, Julián and the entire team. You made us so proud.
As shocking as this story is, the most upsetting to me is this: “Mississippi rejects more than 90% of those who apply for the federal welfare benefit…This year 2,500 children received benefits, state officials said, in a state with 192,000 poor children.”
We are a year out from Election Day. One year! Polls one year out are not predictive. One year before election day in 2011, the New York Times mused whether Obama was “toast”.
“The days of Bernie Sanders racking up huge wins with Hispanic voters are likely coming to an end...”
We are making strides and working hard, but still have a ways to go. Mi gente in Arizona, Illinois and Florida, lets do this!
Men lie, women lie, numbers don't lie 📈📊 Pennsylvania data:
290,000 total Latino votes cast
Latino vote for Biden 200,100
Latino vote for Trump 84,100
Latino net contribution to Biden: 116,000
The importance of today’s endorsement of
@JoeBiden
by the 200,0000 member Transit Union cant be overstated. On the cusp of the
#IowaCaucus
, the members of
@ATUComm
will provide crucial support in Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, Waterloo & Des Moines.
Biden’s negatives are fully baked into the cake, but his positives are not, and neither are the extraordinary negatives of having Trump as president again. No president running for reelection in modern history has had a stronger record of accomplishment than Biden.
Let’s get this right.
99.7% of the money donated to the campaign comes from grassroots donors. Average donation is $44.
@JoeBiden
supports a constitutional amendment to replace all private money in campaigns with public financing - and has since the 70’s.
Period.
Oh shit. This Biden Cabinet member just shut down a Republican for using a backhanded compliment by saying she’s “too nice”: “Let me take off the nice a little bit. I don't need your pity. I stand up for the American people. When I speak, people listen.”
