I love the photo they used to accompany the article. It really screams superfan energy.
Two dozen? That many?
In interviews with nearly two dozen of these Democrats — many of them older, and most of them women — they sounded by turns beleaguered, bewildered and protective. “I’m sorry Joe doesn’t know how much I love him, but I do love Joe,” said Constance Wynn, 73, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. “I don’t even know why people want to pester the man, because the man has things to do.”
More from Biden's young folks supporters.
“He came out of retirement to save the country, save our democracy, a fight for the soul of our nation — he didn’t have to run for president,” Mr. Galban said. “He made it his mission to take our country back from Donald Trump.”
A Philly lawn sign guy
Some of Mr. Biden’s biggest supporters, unsurprisingly, are in Philadelphia politics. He was born in Scranton, Pa., and Jill Biden is a Philadelphia sports fan. The president has visited the city frequently since taking office.
Jim Donnelly, the leader of the 58th Ward, in the city’s conservative-leaning northeast, said he had at least seven Biden signs on his front lawn. He has gotten into fights with his neighbors who have vandalized or stolen them.
Aside from cops, firefighters and his barber, he said, “Everybody I talk to loves Joe Biden.” Among his reasons for supporting Mr. Biden, he listed the president’s well-known friendliness to train conductors, his foreign policy experience and his record of job creation.
The end of the article
Ms. Russell, the Biden backer on Earp Street in Philadelphia, said there was only one thing she would change about Mr. Biden — the flip of white hair on the back of his neck, which sometimes sticks out over his suit collar. “It drives me nuts,” she said. “Just trim it!”
Ayo I'm convinced that these Biden simps are just casted extras from
The West Wingwho never got the memo that the series ended long ago.Now I'm sad because I'm thinking of all the things the NYT reporter didn't do. Imagine how excited somebody like the extras would have been had he called them. It would be a dream for them.
"Mr. Bradford - while you were at lunch the New York Times called."
"I gave you a raise just a couple weeks ago. And I have told you how I do not like jokes. Yet you say this."
"I'm serious. He said it would be entirely unprofessional to say what it concerned. He couldn't resist telling me. I'm very convincing."
"That you are."
"Yeah. I pumped him for information. I didn't know you were an extra on The West Wing."
"So many years ago. I had more hair then." Why did I say that? Note to self - stop flirting with Taylor!
Smiling: "He wanted to talk to you about Biden for his superfan article."
"I don't know what to say to that."
"I look forward to reading your quotes in the Times!"
The little minx. He smiles quickly before he exits stage right into his office.
