Thrilled to support @KamalaHarris as next VP. I was honored to speak with @JoeBiden at length over the weekend and again today. His focus on reaching out to every corner of our country speaks to how he will lead us. I look forward to doing all I can for Team #BidenHarris!

To clarify I’ll never vote for @realDonaldTrump, didnt in 2016 and won’t now, I just can’t vote for @KamalaHarris because she (in my opinion) has never been consistent. I was willing to vote for @JoeBiden until this announcement. I’ll be voting for someone else now. #EvictTrump
