Former Vice President Joe Biden will skip a major DNC meeting in San Francisco this weekend, leaving 13 of his fellow candidates to schmooze the many delegates who will be in attendance.

According to Politico, also planning to bypass the event are South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX).

Biden is reportedly sending his campaign manager in his stead, while he campaigns in New Hampshire.

The former Vice President eschewed another major party meeting recently, opting out of the California Democratic Party convention in June.

  1. Too bad he’s not skipping the Presidential race all together…

  2. There won’t be any of his racist Republican buddies there, so why should he bother?

    Biden at a Cape Cod fundraiser tonight: “There’s an awful lot of really good Republicans out there. I get in trouble for saying that with Democrats, but…every time we ever got in trouble with our administration, remember who got sent up to Capitol Hill to fix it? Me.”

    I trust Joe Biden being able to sway those “good Republicans” to support Democratic legislation and judicial and cabinet appointments (Hey, Joe! Remember Obamacare? How about Merrick Garland?) about as much as I trust Stevie Wonder to fix my plumbing.

    And I love Stevie Wonder!

    Lots of people accused Hillary of being entitled in 2016. Now look at this. Wonder what they think of Biden :thinking:
    ETA: Hope these are not the same people who thought/still think Biden could have won in 2016.

  5. Ridiculous exaggeration.
