The last thing I wanted to do was go to the United States Senate after that. We had elected a governor, a Democrat. He could appoint a Democrat. And I had my brother talking to him about who he would appoint. But there was Fritz and Joan; they embraced me, Biden said referring to Mondale by his longtime nickname.
He added: Its not just being nice but bringing me in. They came to the hospital to see my boys.
Biden said Mondale and others including then-Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and then-Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) persuaded him to at least give the Senate a try for six months and then kept him busy to get his thoughts off his family tragedy.
They kept me engaged. They helped me get up when it was easy to give up, Biden said.

I don't think I ever once heard FF45 acknowledge anyone else for helping or supporting him -- only me me me me me me me me -- a true toxic narcissist if there ever was one. On further thought, maybe nobody wanted to help a selfish wretch like him!

President Biden IS DOING A FUCKING GREAT JOB after tfg tried to overthrow our government, and ignored a pandemic, and tried to break up NATO, etc, etc, and fucking etc.
Democratic presidents deserve SOOOOOOOOO much credit for saving our country.
But all we hear about is Ronald Reagan.
