Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) inched closer to a presidential run Tuesday morning, saying on “Morning Joe” that her family is now on board.

“Big news today, my family is on board including my in-laws, so showing momentum,” Klobuchar said. “But I’ll make this decision on my own course regardless of what other candidates are doing.”

Klobuchar has traveled to Iowa and has been making the case for a candidate from the heartland with a record of wins in areas that have voted for President Donald Trump.

    Tha’t like - say - 15 votes ? That’s a start…

  2. This is good news. I’m not on board with her, but I’m going to give her a good hard look. She may be just what the Democratic Party, and the nation, need.

    I don’t like Klobuchar’s chances in the primary (the field is just too big and noisy), but I think she’d do well in the general and, if she won, would make for an excellent president.

    So, weirdly (?), I see each step getting easier for her.

  4. Well, considering that her fingies are #4 on the Al Franken knife, she still has some ‘splainin’ to do.
