I am sure she was. Bernie stunned me when he endorsed Biden. I was not expecting it as other media was commenting on how he was trying to avoid talking about endorsing Biden at that time. Next day, he did it and all I could say was, "Holy crap! he finally did it!!" and the tip of the iceberg was when Obama came in and endorsed him. made my day ten times better.

She didn’t say it’s too early for conjecture, that’ll up to him, etc. Just yes!

It shows better on Rachel than this video. Could it signal a done deal, be an agreed trial balloon, or a message to Biden?

Remembering that in 2015 Biden reportedly met with her because he wanted her for his running mate if he ran.
