Bill Bradley endorses Biden: "I think he's the only candidate who can beat Donald Trump and help

Democrats win the House and Senate."

“I’ve seen him in action everywhere from the Kremlin and Russia to Congress,” Bradley, a pro basketball Hall of Famer, said in an interview with POLITICO. “I’ve seen him through his personal tragedies and his political triumphs. I think he’s the only candidate who can beat Donald Trump and help Democrats win the House and Senate.

“I’m endorsing him because I know him, I’ve seen him at work, I watched him handle many different situations.”

Bradley brushed aside the contention among the left flank of the party that Biden is out of step with today's progressives. Despite his consistent national lead, Biden has failed to electrify crowds.

“I think Joe Biden will be the most progressive president we’ve had since Lyndon Johnson — as well as being the most experienced president since Lyndon Johnson,” Bradley said. “I think he understands that you’ve got to get things passed, you’ve got to get a Congress that’s Democrat — House and Senate. You’ve got to have those things to make progressivism a reality."

Capable of starring in a college basketball game, and studying after the game.

A bio hobby of his was studying 'decision-making'.
