I doubt very much that Prez Obama will endorse before we have a nominee. elleng Mar 2020 #5

Right, did say 'endorsement,' elleng Mar 2020 #6

Or did anyone find out where Joe went yesterday? It's being kept under wraps Qutzupalotl Mar 2020 #2

His campaign might also be doing the math and now factoring in Bloomberg Amishman Mar 2020 #9

They're surely doing that! elleng Mar 2020 #11

Fortunately, Joe Biden apprarently got $22 million in 5 days, so he might have been able to postpone the fundraiser if he had something else more pressing, like say, winning Michigan.

as far as I can tell. The location might give away the endorsement.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Knowing that Bloomberg will be buying a lot of supportive TV ads soon has to help the campaign budget

...but doesn’t specify whether he showed up in person, which would favor the Kamala theory, or by phone, which I heard from a different source. So we’re still in the dark.

THIS tidbit says Wednesday: '10:20 p.m.

A fundraiser for Joe Biden at the Los Angeles home of former Paramount Pictures executive Sherry Lansing mushroomed from 80 to 350 attendees in the days after the South Carolina primary.

Biden addressed the crowd Wednesday in Lansing´s backyard outside her mansion in Bel Air.

Lansing said she had to turn interested donors away after Biden´s strong showing in Tuesday night´s primary. “It was a deluge,” she said.'

after I realized the source doesn’t say he was there in person. Someone else said he canceled his appearance at a fundraiser last night but phoned in to thank them.
