ATLANTA — Former vice president Joe Biden and Beto O'Rourke, both vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, discussed plans to fight voter suppression and spoke in support of abortion from the same stage on Thursday night.

The candidates appeared at the Democratic National Committee's I Will Vote Gala fundraiser that included speeches from several influential Democrats from Georgia —including Stacey Abrams, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rep. Lucy McBath.

Many spoke to the importance of equal voting rights and registering as many voters as possible to help Democrats win key races across the country.

The event was the culmination of appearances by Democratic presidential hopefuls in Atlanta on Thursday. Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg spoke earlier at the DNC's African American Leadership Council Summit.

1. Yes they are. Look at Missouri for example.......

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Which is why Women will be the deciding factor who gets elected President.. The Democratic Party Nominee needs to stress choice here.


Democrats will defend your right to choose.

Republicans want to take that away and control your body.


Women do NOT want to be CONTROLLED! CONTROL is a dirty word to women per se.

2. There was a massive difference in the speeches

Biden used a teleprompter and Beto took people to church, so to speak.

5. I s'pose that irrelevancy is noteworthy if it reinforces a bias.

Otherwise... it's just sour.
